6 Common Causes of iPhone Battery Drain & How to Troubleshoot

Do you ever feel like your iPhone battery is draining faster than it should? It can be frustrating to have to constantly charge your phone throughout the day or worry about it dying when you need it most. Fortunately, there are many reasons why your iPhone battery may be draining quickly, and there are also many solutions to help extend your battery life. 

In this post, we will explore the common causes of fast battery drain on iPhones and provide troubleshooting and solutions to help you maximize your battery life.

Common Causes of Fast Battery Drain

There are several common causes of fast battery drain that you may not be aware of. By identifying these causes, you can take steps to optimize your battery life and extend the time between charges.

Display brightness and screen time-out settings

The brightness of your iPhone screen can have a significant impact on your battery life. If your display is too bright, it can quickly drain your battery. Similarly, if your screen timeout settings are set for too long, it can also reduce your battery life. Consider adjusting these settings to help conserve your battery.

Background app refresh and background app activity

Apps that run in the background can also cause your battery to drain faster. If you have apps that refresh frequently or have excessive background activity, they could be using more battery power than necessary. To reduce battery drain, you can disable background app refresh and force quit apps when you're not using them.

Push email and app notifications

Push email and app notifications can be helpful, but they can also consume a lot of battery power. Consider adjusting your notification settings to only receive alerts for the most important notifications or turning off push email altogether.

Location services and GPS usage

Location services and GPS usage can also significantly reduce your battery life. If you don't need to use GPS, consider turning off location services to help conserve your battery.

Poor cellular signal strength and excessive mobile data usage

If your iPhone has poor cellular signal strength or if you use a lot of mobile data, it can also reduce your battery life. Consider using Wi-Fi when possible or switching to airplane mode to conserve battery power.

Old and degraded batteries

If your iPhone is several years old, the battery may be degraded, which can cause it to drain faster than normal. In this case, replacing the battery can help extend your battery life.

Troubleshooting and Solutions

If you're experiencing fast battery drain on your iPhone, don't worry – there are several solutions you can try to resolve the issue. By troubleshooting the problem and identifying the root cause, you can take steps to optimize your battery life and get the most out of your device. In this section, we'll explore some common troubleshooting methods and solutions for fast battery drain.

Battery usage stats and identifying battery-hogging apps

To identify which apps are using the most battery power, go to Settings > Battery. From here, you can see which apps have consumed the most battery power over the last 24 hours or the last 7 days. Once you identify the battery-hogging apps, consider force quitting them when you're not using them or uninstalling them altogether.

Adjusting settings and disabling unnecessary features

To help conserve your battery, consider adjusting the following settings:

• Display brightness and screen timeout settings
• Background app refresh
• Push email and app notifications
• Location services
• Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when not in use

You can also disable unnecessary features, such as AirDrop or Handoff, to help conserve your battery.

Updating iOS and resetting network settings

Apple regularly releases updates to iOS that can help improve battery life. Consider updating your iPhone to the latest version of iOS to take advantage of these improvements. You can also reset your network settings to help improve battery life.

Battery replacement and servicing options

If your iPhone battery is old or degraded, consider replacing it. You can either take your iPhone to an Apple Store or authorized service provider or replace the battery yourself. The GravaStar Alpha65 GaN fast charger is a great option for fast and effective charging of your iPhone, as well as other devices.

Tips for optimizing battery life and usage

Here are some additional tips for optimizing your iPhone battery life:

• Use low power mode when your battery is running low.
• Avoid extreme temperatures, as they can reduce battery life. Try to keep your iPhone at room temperature as much as possible.
• Close out of apps when you’re finished using them. Leaving apps open in the background can drain your battery.
• Turn off background app refresh for apps you don’t use frequently. This feature allows apps to refresh their content in the background, which can drain your battery. You can turn off this feature in Settings > General > Background App Refresh.
• Reduce screen brightness. A bright screen can drain your battery quickly, so consider reducing the brightness or using auto-brightness.
• Disable location services for apps you don’t use frequently. Location services use GPS and can drain your battery. You can turn off location services for individual apps in Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
• Turn off push notifications for apps you don’t need. Push notifications can also drain your battery, so consider turning them off for apps you don’t use frequently. You can manage push notifications in Settings > Notifications.
• Use Wi-Fi instead of cellular data when possible. Wi-Fi uses less power than cellular data, so try to use Wi-Fi when it’s available.
• Consider using Airplane mode when you don’t need to use your phone. Airplane mode disables all wireless connections, including cellular data, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, which can save your battery.
