Issues with iOS Battery Drain After Recent Update

Hello

Ever since updating to the latest iOS version; I’ve been experiencing significant battery drain on my iPhone. Before the update, I would easily get through a full day of use without needing to recharge. Now, even with minimal usage, my battery is draining much faster than usual. :upside_down_face:

I’ve tried basic troubleshooting steps like restarting my phone, closing unnecessary apps, and disabling location services, but nothing seems to help. :upside_down_face:

I checked my battery usage in Settings, and the screen time is normal, but there are certain background apps using more power than expected, even though I haven’t used them recently.

I’m using an iPhone 12, and the issue seems to have started immediately after updating to iOS 16.6. Is anyone else experiencing this? Could this be a bug with the latest update, or is it a hardware issue? :thinking: I have checked iPhone battery and performance - Apple Support (IN) documentation guide for reference .

Would love to hear if anyone has encountered this and how you managed to fix it!

Thank you ! :blush:

How long after the update are we talking here? I can well be true that an iPhone uses more battery for more than a day after updating. But after some time of internal „sorting“ things should get back to normal.

Other than that: why on earth are you still writing about updating to iOS 16.6? Current is 18.3 - even for iPhone 12.
