I recently updated my 2018 iPhone 8 to the new 14.7.1 software and ever since my battery drains within a couple of hours. I used to have to charge it twice a day at most and now within 2 hours the battery is down to 50% while I barely use it. Is there any way I can fix this?
Hello,
Anytime a new software version is installed, there are maintenance tasks such as reindexing that can take awhile. It should settle down in a few days.
In the meantime, these are the standard steps for short battery life:
1) Have you tried a restart? If not, do it now.
2) Go to Settings > Battery > BATTERY USAGE BY APP to see the apps that are consuming your battery.
3) Check “Battery Health” in the link:
iPhone Battery and Performance
4) If all else fails, consider a battery replacement:
Good luck.
