background app activity disabled, why is it still draining battery?

My background app refresh/activity is, has been disabled in Settings > General, “No Changes” (background app activity) is enabled in Screen Time > Content and Privacy Restrictions . Why is background activity still draining my battery?

Furthermore, background app activity is lending to battery usage with default apps I don’t keep on home screen, much less use.


Is there any explanation for this?


iPhone 11, iOS 16

Thank you for your image.


Have you updated to iOS17?...


Troubleshooting Overheating iPhone After iOS17 Update:


A. Downgrading the iOS:

Unfortunately, the iOS cannot be downgraded to a lower version. So, you only option, when it comes to restoring from an iPhone backup, is to restore from on that is of the same iOS version.


B. Report this to Apple...

Overeating iPhone and draining iPhone batteries are a well-known issues of the iOS17 update. Question is: "Just how many people have actually reported this to Apple?"


So, do your Part: Provide Apple with feedback on this, letting them know about this issue.  Apple may not get back to you directly, but the more feedback they receive on this, the more they will know what is occurring, and what bug fixes to include in updates to come. Apple will know nothing of this, if you don't report it to them.

  1. Go Here: Feedback - iPhone - Apple
  2. Select: "Bug Report" for the "Feedback Type"
  3. Comment: that this all began after installing an update. Include the URL of this thread
  4. Proceed from there as necessary
