iPhone battery draining fast when you're not using it
one app is running in the background and quietly draining your battery. Go to Settings → Battery to see which one and turn off its background activity — this fixes it for most people.
Even when your screen is off, some apps keep running in the background and using up your battery. Your iPhone shows you exactly which ones are doing it. We'll find the culprit, turn it off, and your battery should go back to lasting a normal amount of time.
