iPad battery drains after updating to 16.3.1
Both my iPad 2 and iPhone 8 batteries drain FAST since update to 16.3.1. What to do?

I’m hearing you it’s extremely frustrating.
Question marked as
I found the same problem on my iPhone SE 3rd Gen. I just found my problem. Maybe it will help you. There is a new setting on my phone called “Clean Energy Charging” which is turned on by default.
Go into Settings, Battery, Battery Health & Charging. At the bottom is “Clean Energy Charging”. I turned this off and my battery stopped draining immediately. I don’t know how this setting finds clean energy to know when to charge, but maybe once it does find it the draining will stop. It’s a nice idea, but causing your battery to drain ridiculously fast seems counter productive and wasteful.
Good luck.

LOL. Well done!
My iPad literally drains in 2 hrs. What a mess.
Exactly the same with me. I have reset multiple times, cleaned out apps and photos and battery still quickly drains out .
I don’t see the Clean Energy Charging on my iPad.
I have a 5th generation IPad and same issue. It also stops charging ... until I turn it off and on.
iPad battery drains fast and slow charging. While in use it will take me back to the home page or close out completely. May be 2 different problems.
Yeah. Problem 1: We trusted Apple to not mess this up. Problem 2: Apple hasn’t fixed it. 🤦♂️
Unfortunately the owners of the iPad Pro model don’t see this option.
98% - 60% after just 90 minutes of run time this morning.
Apple need to get their act together..!
I have 16.5.1 and experiencing the same thing. Especially on ipad pro. I found that option on my iPhone xr but not on ipad pro.
My iPad does not have this option.
Thanks. My iPad also says it’s up to date, but then down below it asks if I want to upgrade to 17. Go figure.
My iPhone XR is on 16.7 and has not had these problems.
Thanks for the tip. I’ll wait a few days.
iPad Pro (10.5-inch)
