Unfortunately the issue I am facing now is the battery of my iPad drains very quickly and automatically even if I am not using it.I play PUBG mobile and it used to give approx 3.5hrs battery time before the recent update, but now after update it just gives 1.5hrs hardly.

Battery Drain on iPhone - Apple Maps - iOS 16.x Since the rollout of iOS 16, my iPhone 13 Pro battery has drained very fast (for example, this morning I was at about 90% at 7:15a and by 11:45a I was at 5% battery and all I used my phone for was a . It appears to happen whenever I use Apple Maps (typically in CarPlay). Apple Maps shows up as the primary app consuming battery in the battery app in settings. I further tested this by deleting Apple Maps (I used Google Maps during this time) and sure enough, my phone battery life was fine. I ended up reinstalling Apple Maps and the problem came back. It seems like users on Reddit and macforums are also complaining about this but I haven't seen any solutions (and I would rather not delete Apple Maps if I can avoid that). Hoping that someone here as an answer and/or that this is on Apple's radar to address in subsequent updates.
