Fix iPhone Battery Draining Fast

The Problem: Your iPhone dies before the end of the day, or you watch the percentage drop every minute.

The Short Answer: If your battery health is above 80%, this is usually caused by "Background App Refresh" or high screen brightness.

Method 1: Check Battery Usage

Find the culprit.

1. Go to Settings > Battery.
2. Scroll down to see the list.
3. If an app like Facebook or TikTok says "Background Activity", it is killing your battery silently.

Method 2: Turn Off Background Refresh

Stop apps from updating when you aren't using them.

1. Go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh.
2. Turn it OFF completely, or disable it for social media apps.

Method 3: Reduce Motion & Brightness

The screen is the biggest power user.

• Keep brightness at 50% or auto.
• Go to Settings > Accessibility > Motion and turn on Reduce Motion. This turns off the fancy zoom effects.
