Astronomy app

How do I disable the "astronomy app" on my iphone? It is running in the background and used over 60% of my battery.

iPhone SE, iOS 16

It's not an app, it's the Lock Screen Astronomy wallpaper service. Choose a different Lock Screen wallpaper so the Astronomy service does not run. Instead of the moon, solar system or earth from space wallpapers choose a static one.


It should, in normal function use only around 1% of battery power per day.


Restarting the iPhone may also help.
