Increased phone battery consumption after updating to IOS15

I updated the system to iOS 15, and after the update, the phone’s battery consumption increased significantly, as the battery does not complete 24 hours and is charged twice during the day.

Also, there was a decrease in the default battery life from 99% to 96% in just three days.


What is the solution for this problem?

iPhone 12, iOS 15

Hello,

With any new version of iOS there are always maintenance and re-indexing tasks to be performed. It should settle down in a few days. 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:

Good luck.
