Disable battery usage by app

I understand issues about the apps, as well as understanding info that can be saved in metadata, but the battery usage is just calculating the battery usage by app against the total battery usage. While it may be part of the diagnostics data, you have the ability to turn off sending diagnostics to Apple. While I may be wrong, it isn't doing something about you using it, just how much battery is being consumed while the app is in use. I don't know that other apps would have access to that information, but then there are apps that can be used to calculate battery information, but I'm not sure how open that API is for accessing info.

You let kinds use Government/DOD iPhones?

Chris: The "Fed-Talk" list is an e-mail distribution list focused on the Government (Federal & DoD) issues related to using Apple products in those environments. As you might imagine, we have some security requirements that go above what Apple provides by default at times. You can find more info on these types of discussion lists at "lists.apple.com".

I hate to tell you this, but that information was already part of the diagnostics of the iPhone, and has been for years. All Apple did was make that data viewable by the user. It's still part of any diagnostics that are done from the iPhone. Any time Apple does a diagnostic on your device, that information is part of the report.

how can i get the app's battery usage by API in IOS 8 or later?

Settings>General>Usage>Battery Usage

I mean is there any API can i use to get the battery Usage?

I might be misunderstanding this, but it seems to me that you're going at this from the wrong angel.

The function in Settings is simply a UI into data kept on the phone - it gives someone who has physical access to your phone info on your app habit.

Removing the function leaves the data, so someone accessing remotely, via a network, could still get to the data (assuming various capabilities).

So I don't see what switching off the function gets you.

That would be a question better asked in the Developer forums.

Yes. There are several apps in the app store that use it. Check the developer's manual or ask in the dev forum.

Thanks a lot.

thanks very much
