iOS 16.4 battery drain issue fix
To fix the iOS 16.4 battery drain issue, users should:
- First, check to see if there are any new updates.
- The week after a new patch is rolled out, Apple often sends out a new update to fix some more issues.
- Set the brightness to automatic.
- Having the iPhone screen brightness set to the maximum can rapidly drain the battery. Try setting it to “Automatic” instead.
- Avoid recording video for too long.
- Video recording is one of the major causes of iPhone battery drain. Try to limit video recording if you want the battery to last.
- Check the iPhone’s Battery Health.
- Head to Settings > Battery to check the Battery Health.
- Generally, Battery Health will drop by 5-10% each year. When the number falls below 80%, Apple will recommend the phone be serviced and the battery replaced.
- Make sure there aren’t any pesky apps running in the background.
- Heading to Setting > Battery and then scrolling through the apps will show you what apps have been using the battery the most.
