Battery drain in iOS 14.7.1

My device (Face ID sensors) is over heating after updating iOS to 14.7 (and then 14.7.1). I disabled Face ID and then try to set it up, but now it's unavailable and shows a warning message that iPhone needs to cool down before using it. Battery is draining drastically without any usage. I'm not sure if this is a hardware or software issue. Any solution?

Thanks for the tip. I have reset my network settings (iPhone 11 Pro) and today so far the usage looks a lot more like pre-14.7.1 levels.

I did the reset yesterday and it didn’t appear to make a difference initially, but after a full charge overnight it looks better. Will update again later.

iPhone 11 Pro Max 256gb…I reset my network settings as I’ve seen some comments suggest that as a solution. It doesn’t appear to be a solution for me. My phone is also always warm. This recently began after 14.7.1.

I am facing the same issue. I have an iPhone XS Max with 85% battery.

before updating to 14.7.1 I could last a day with a single 30 minute charge during the day.

But updating to 14.7.1 is draining the battery like crazy! Now I have to charge it 2-3 times a day!!

Guys i got same problem heres the fix

turn off screen time and delete widget

im try cause my battery is overnight 100% to 75% and every five min -1% :/ now is overnight 100 to 98 and 4 hours after 87% so much better.

then and now

ios 14.5.1 was the best, this is joke I have the same issue that was be in 14.2, drop from 50 to 0% procent and shut down

I don’t want to update system to 14.7.1 but I had to do that cuz mobile data stop working for no reason, now I have battery issues #apple #battery_bugs

I've posted here before to say I'm seeing the same problems as everyone else with the iPhone not holding charge as well since iOS 14.7.1. Thought I'd share this battery usage from yesterday though. I'd gone to bed around 10pm with the battery at ~40% charge, and woke up to see it at 1%. What's interesting here though is not the fact that it lost 40% overnight (which would be extreme anyway), but that it dropped to that in about 2-3 hours and then sat quite happily at 1% for the next 6-7 hours. More perplexing is that I was then able to use the iPhone just fine at 1% for 20 minutes or so in the morning before putting it on charge. When I did put in on charge it immediately jumped from 1% to 17%. Now I know you can see this kind of behaviour with an old or bad battery, but in this case the battery is less than a year old and still at 100% health, and I know this behaviour only started after iOS 14.7.1 was installed. Makes me wonder if the actually battery drain isn't any different, but just iOS's ability to measure and report it correctly since the last update?

I checked the battery usage and a message told me I'd been using the device more than usual since the update: WRONG. I shut it off completely after charging at 10 p.m., turned it on this morning to watch a movie--as usual--and the battery level had plummeted. Usually, the device stays on after I pull the plug on charging and it works on tasks while I sleep. Turning it on must have taxed the battery, eh? Device is 16 months young.

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)

I updated my iPho 8+ a couple of days ago and noticed yesterday and today (8/2/2021) that the battery is draining at a tremendous rate. At midnight last not the phone was at 100%. When I got up this morning it was at 71%. I haven’t used it since then (except to write this message) and it is at 36%. It is only 1:59pm.

I went searching for this kind of thread because since 14.7.1, my iPhone 12 Pro cannot make it through a day without another charging session. Yesterday, at 1 pm, the battery was down to 20%. My battery health if 95%.

What will Apple do about this? Does going through their support regiment produce any positive results?

This is the answer that Apple recommended???

OMG!

This iOS 14.7.1 is terrible - battery drain so fast (and furious) iPhone 11 get got and this is the answer - Apple recommends??????

First of all hi from Croatia Apple and thank you for this update and last bye forever iOS/iPhone/Apple.

Sorry for my bad English but I m very angry and sad....

Really, Apple recommended this answer?????

I tried a chat and after 10+ minutes gave up on the '2 minute' wait.

I then used the phone and eventually that worked.

I was told to take my iP 12 Pro to the local store which is what I will do later today.

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.
