iOS 16.1.1 Contacts app draining battery

Is anyone else having an issue where iOS 16.1.1 shows the default Apple Contacts app is inexplicably draining your battery? On my iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16.1.1, Contacts has used over 60% of my battery with 1 minute of usage! It doesn’t make any sense. I barely use my phone, and my battery is draining rapidly since I updated to iOS 16.1.1.

Also… it seems that the problem is not happening to ALL iOS 16+ users, since it’s not massive complaint and it should have been fixed already in the recent updates.


I think that in my experience, it started happening not with iOS 16 or iOS 16.1.1, it just started when I created and linked my baby’s new account, so I reversed the one and only change I made and seems to be working.


Look at the photo I’m attaching, my phone wasn’t charging during the night and the battery consumption was very low (in standby), whereas two days ago during nighttime the battery drained 30+%.
