Siri draining battery on iOS 16.1

Try turning off Siri’s background app refresh. I tried it this morning after a suggestion from Apple tech support. Go to settings/general/background app refresh and turn off Siri. It made a huge difference for me running iOS 16.1.1 on a new iPhone 14 Pro.

Greetings bomberpoland,

That's a fantastic question! From the screenshot you shared, it looks as though it was briefly used. during the timeframe you selected. If Siri was briefly accessed, even by accident, this could be why the you're seeing the usage. You can learn more about using Siri via the link below.

bomberpoland,

The usage section showed Siri was unexpectedly using more battery on your device. As the apps used determine battery runtime, completing the steps in the maximization article previously shared can help.

If you continue to have issues after 72 hours of maximizing the steps, reach out to Apple Support directly to further assist. iPhone Battery and Performance - Apple Support

I'm glad, it stopped after updating to 16.2!!!
