Battery drain in iOS 14.7.1

Hi,


Battery drain is happening after updated to iOS 14.7, the percent is jumping from 77% to 71% without almost any use, I am using the iPhone 11 Pro normal and my battery health is still on 100%.


Is anyone experiencing this too?


iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 14

There IS a fix that works, guys. I had battery drain issues after 14.7.1 and now I don’t. First thing you can try: Settings/General/Reset/Reset Network Settings. Then charge it and wait a couple hours. If that doesn’t fix the battery drain, you can connect your iPhone to a Mac (if you have one) and do a system restore via Finder. When that’s complete, set it up as a new phone. If you don’t have a Mac, do an iCloud backup, then go to Settings/General/Reset/Erase all Content and Settings. Set it up as a new phone. Once you’ve set it up as a new phone, if you don’t want to manually redownload your apps and customize your settings, you can restore again from your backup. I don’t think this will reinstall the battery drain “bug.” Give those things a try and let us know if the suggestions did or did not work for you.

I have this too, From the upgrade of 14.6. But yesterday I upgraded 14.7.1 still the same problem have.


The battery drained very quickly like if I charged 100% and even though I have not touched the phone, check it within an hour it shows 85% or 80%

Background running also I checked. Nothing there. And I have done a network reset also.


Model: iPhone XS Max. Battery health is 100% but this drain problem only started happening after the upgrade of 14.6 till now(14.7.1)

My 11 pro was having overheat issue with 14.7.. with 14.7.1 the overheat went away but the battery drained fast. Tried the stuff other said on this thread including the normal reboots and no fix. While looking through settings for what I might be able to do to mitigate the issue I decided to turn off “hey Siri”, for me it seems to help and battery life little closer to the way it was before the drain issue.
