25 Hacks To Fix iPhone Battery Drain - Apple Hates #7! [iOS 17.2 Battery Drain]

[@Melchiahdim]

Just want to say that I really appreciated your format. I upgraded to an iphone 14 pro yesterday, and I always watch videos to refresh my memory while setting up the phone. The video was very informative and I learned a few things that I was not aware of before.

[@editorrbr2107]

Much appreciated. 🎉

My battery has been draining nonstop since updating to ios 18. I did some of the recommended steps, and finished by restarting my phone. My battery was charged to 88%, after restarting I was nicely surprized that it went actually UP to 91%!!... probably not accurate but at least it didn't go down I hope that these solve my battery draining issues. Thank you! Update, Guys... I've been to apple store more than once and multiple times on the phone with support team and many back and forth emails for more than 2 weeks (including factory resetting my phone) without any improvement. And now...after it has been a few days since I followed a good part of these tips, I'm over the moon to say that my phone's battery is actually great now! Can't thank you enough.

[@kilipaki87oritahiti]

My battery improved by only charging to 80% and not get lower than 35% max when needing to charge. It’s been a lil bit over a year and my iphone 15 pro max just dropped down from 100-99. But I actually suspect it was the new IOS 18.2.1 update as it seems draining. But then again it has been crap ever since IOS 17, and that was the caee also on my beloved iphone 11 pro max, as I had to upgrade because of no more storage and battery was down to 80%+ something after 3 years, and I didn’t charge correctly either.

Great video! I personally prefer manual brightness setting. Auto brightness to me consumes more battery as it uses a sensor to detect the environment real-time so it can adjust the brightness accordingly.

[@Kanoog]

Same here, Auto brightness also confuses me sometimes when the screen is adjusting on it's own.

Thanks for this video. My 14PM is already down to 91% after 6 months. Always been a PM user and never had a degradation this fast before.

[@ezdlx]

you know it doesnt only depend on the settings, it also depends on how often you use your iPhone and how often you charge it here's a tip: try not to charge your iPhone above 80% and not to drain it below 20%, trust me you will notice the difference

[@mrconfident786]

[@Itskfx]

⁠​⁠@@mrconfident786it’s more like saving your phone’s battery health for when you actually have to utilize it. If you can have a charger available the 80-20 is a good to go. I’ve followed it without any sort of “mental gymnastics” and has lasted me throughout the day. And when I have to use it longer without charging, I just crank it up to whatever I want because at the end of the day, I did buy it to use it.

Telecommunications specialist here, on recent phones the drain difference between 4G and 5G is not noticeable because the modems are way more efficient than before. What can cause some loss of battery is if your area has poor 5G coverage and your phone needs to raise its power a little more to reach the tower. ... Remember, phones with 5G are seen as 1st class, by the network algorithm, in terms of priority to access towers ... For example, in a crowded place like a concert or stadium, the 5G capable phone might be able to make/receive a call while the non 5G phone will have to wait to connect to a busy tower...

Ever since updated to iOS 16 my battery drain has been terrible. I thought the updates may fix it but now at 16.5 it is even worse. I just about to have to keep the phone on a charger because of the fast drain. Battery was usage was good before 16 and my battery health reads 100%. The battery was replaced on this phone less than 2 yrs. ago. I have tried every tip from this and other sites to stop it but to no avail. I charged the phone to 100% yesterday before bed time and left off of the charger overnight. In the morning it was at 22% just sitting there on the table beside the bed. I am at wits end as my phone is rapidly becoming useless unless hooked up to a charger.

[@monophoto1]

You guys have created many videos that address the issue of iPhone battery drain. Thanks for that - useful information. But one subject you have avoided is CarPlay. I recently bought a new car that includes quite a bit of native automation. A neighbor suggested that using CarPlay would be easier than trying to learn totally new systems, but I quickly determined that CarPlay has a downside - it drains the phone battery rapidly. My car was designed support CarPlay through a wired connection to the phone - that worked, but it was a PITA to have to dig out the phone and plug it in, so I bought a dongle that provided a wireless connection. That also worked, but I found that a short 25 mile ride around town used almost 50% of the capacity of my phone battery - no way would that be practical for a long road trip!

[@sushilmangal]

Thank you for all the tips and your effort

[@tokumeig654]

I managed to have battery health at 99% after 2 years of daily use. What I do is to set up an automatic shortcut to make some noise (or make announcement) when charged to 85% so I can unplug. I also set up another shortcut to make noise at 30% to remind me to charge. To extend the life of battery, try maintaining the battery between 30-85% all the time, and there should be minimal degradation after a couple of years, depending on the usage.

[@sourajit_43]

How did you set those custom shortcuts. I just switched from android to iphone, I would love to know how to set them, if you could help

[@tokumeig654]

@@sourajit_43 Create a new automation in shortcut app, and set to trigger when the battery is below or above certain percentage. You can then create whatever ways to alert you.

[@destinyxrose]

Yes, please share how to set up these alerts. My iPhone 12 mini was at 87% but I turned on optimize charging because I thought it might help and it automatically dropped to 78% in less than a month 😱 I need to do any and everything to maintain the remaining life of my battery. Many of the settings discussed in this video were on so hoping shutting those settings off will help too but any and all tips appreciated!

Scroll own to around mid bottom to find "Battery Level", and click it. 4. Select Rises Above 50%, and change the top slider to 80% (or whatever percentage you wish to charge to). Tick Run Immediately at the bottom. Hit next. 5. search speak, then select "Speak Text" below. 6. Change the blue "Text" to whatever you wish your iPhone to say out loud when it's charging to this level. e.g. Self destruct sequence commencing in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 7.

Thank you, Thank you. My iPhone was running down flat in 7 hours. I concluded the battery was a goner so embarked on replacing the battery myself with a super duper high power lithium polymer battery. (At 62 with declining eyesight and shaky hands getting the tiny screws back in was excruciating.) Oh my disappointment! The new battery lasted 12 hours, Drained 50% overnight while I slept. Came across your video. Implemented every recommendation. Last night only 2% drained, 36 hours and still going.

[@LVSpeedweLL]

🙋🏻‍♀Thank you! Been testing all these hacks for the last few days and the only one I needed to change back was “reduce motion”. . . It made clearing all the open apps harder for me.

[@kwalex6882]

About closing apps. First year with my Iphone 13 Pro Max I used to close apps all the time. Probably 2-3 times a day on average. Battery health drained 11% in the first year. Had all the important battery saving settings checked. Second year of use I stopped closing apps and battery health drained only 2%. The only different thing I personally did was that I stopped closing apps in the background. Now I do it maybe once or twice every 3-4 weeks. Now I’m sitting at 87% after two years. Wish I knew that since the beginning. By the way I still use motion, haptics etc.

[@giannobong6778]

I have a big question about location settings- it occurs to me that apple is probably pretty economical with this service. It’s most likely the cases that if you have even one location setting turned on that is used with any frequency that apple probably is going to ping you with that pretty frequently and then share that ping with all other apps that wish to know where you are. This would mean that if you use any location detection then you might as well have them all on. I do not believe apple is running separate location pings for every single switch that is turned on, they’re probably pinging at the lowest frequency they can for the location services you have on and then just sharing them across the board. The only thing that could really help with battery in location settings is either turning everything off (even then, there’s probably background stuff apple won’t let you change) OR turning off anything that is constant and only having the occasional one turned on. I’d like to know more and hear your thoughts- maybe a video.

Noticed under “System Services” you had “Networking & Wireless” turned off, but did not mention what this one does during the video or why it is off. Can you please explain the benefits and possible issues with it on/off? Greatly appreciate your info and videos!

[@parcifal_s]

The networking & wireless function enables or disables the Ultra Wideband (U1) chip, a location triangulation method that enables the iPhone to use precision location, and also increases the precision of tracking of devices such as Airtags and Apple watches connected to the iPhone. As with anything, turning a chip off increases battery life, but at the expense of precision tracking of your connected devices. So if you own an Airtag for example, you would want to leave this on, but if you only use an iPhone, you could benefit from turning this off without experiencing any significant drawbacks.
