iPhone battery draining faster than it used to
Phone batteries wear out over time and apps running in the background use up power. Check your battery health first — if it's below 80%, the battery itself is wearing out. If it's above 80%, an app is probably the problem.
Your iPhone battery gets worse every time you charge it, especially if it's been in heat or used a lot. The faster drain is either because the battery is getting old, or because an app is running quietly in the background. We'll check the battery health first, then find the power-hungry app if needed.
Fix-IT-Bot will walk you through each step — just tap, no typing needed.
Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Turning off background refresh for everything at once — this stops your emails and messages coming through. Turn it off app by app for things like social media and shopping instead.
- Thinking the phone is broken when it's just an old battery that needs replacing
- Leaving Low Power Mode on permanently — it's meant to be temporary
Signs you need professional help
- Your battery health is below 80% and you want to know about replacement costs
- You've tried everything and battery is still draining fast overnight
- Your phone feels hot or the battery is physically bulging — stop using it and get it checked
