Q: Battery drain iPhone/Apple Watch messages.app
I just received my new Apple Watch. Unfortunately after setting this baby up, I have issues with the following. My messages app drains my iPhone and Apple Watch like crazy. Fully charged in the evening and completely empty by the morning. I didn't used it at all. My Apple Watch was as empty as it can be and my iPhone was on 3%. I did a reset, but the app keeps draining my batteries.

Hi
It may help to try the following steps, which have helped to resolve battery life issues for some users:
- If you have not yet done so, update your iPhone and Apple Watch to the latest software:
- Close all open apps on your iPhone and then restart both devices:
- On your iPhone: double-press the Home button, then swipe up on each of the app previews to close them.
- Turn both devices off together, then restart your iPhone first.
- Restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support
- Unpair and re-pair your watch:
- The Watch app on your iPhone takes a backup of your watch automatically when unpairing via the app. When setting it up again, choose to Restore from Backup. Most data and settings will be restored, with some exceptions (eg Apple Pay cards, passcode).
- Unpair your Apple Watch and iPhone - Apple Support
- Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support
If the issue persists, I suggest that you contact Apple Support or make a Genius Bar reservation for assistance, taking advantage of your 90 days of complimentary technical support:
