Why is my iPhone battery draining quickly?

Short answer: Look for the app or activity consuming energy instead of closing everything repeatedly.

Try these steps

  1. Review Battery in Settings and compare usage with your normal routine.
  2. Check screen brightness, poor cellular coverage and recent background activity.
  3. Install supported updates and use Low Power Mode when you need longer battery life.

When to ask for help

Arrange service for a swollen battery, unusual heat or sudden shutdowns. Do not puncture or compress a battery.
