Why is my new iPhone 16's battery draining so quickly?

I bought an iPhone 16 2 months ago, the battery condition is 100%, everything is good, but it holds a charge for only 5-6 hours and the percentages melt before our eyes. What to do about it?

Review the apps that are consuming your battery by going to Settings > Battery, and scroll down to see the graph along with the apps battery use over the last 24 hours. Feel free to post a screenshot if you wish.


Social Media apps are notorious for excessive battery drain even when they are not being used due to the background processes being used by those apps to build your Social Graph.
