CountryA few days ago, Apple started releasing iOS 16.4 for iPhone users, and this version includes a set of improvements, security updates, and some new features.
The most prominent of these features; Isolating phone calls, adding 31 new emoji, and more.
But after every iOS update, some iPhone users complain that the battery power drops quickly, while some find that it has improved battery life.
If you are facing the problem of low battery power in the iPhone after the iOS 16.4 update, here are some tips that will help you overcome this problem:
Wait for a while
It is normal for you to notice a drop in battery power after installing a new iOS update; This is because iPhones need to perform a number of tasks after the update.
This consumes more power than usual, but the battery life will return to normal after all additional tasks are completed.
Update apps
The problem may not be with iOS but an issue with a specific app that appeared after an iOS update, and a new update from the app may be the solution to the problem.
So it is better to update all the apps installed in your phone after updating the operating system. To do this, follow these steps:
Open the App Store app and tap your account picture in the top right corner.
Scroll down to the list of apps installed on your phone.
Next to the apps for which a new update is available, you will find an Update button.
Click it to update the application.
Check how apps affect battery power
If you were experiencing the battery draining quickly before the update and the issue persists even after installing iOS 16.4 and updating all apps, an app might be draining your battery.
You can select it by following these steps:
Go to the Settings app.
Choose Battery.
You will see a page with a lot of data, and you will find the option Battery Usage By App.
Tap it to go to Activity By App which shows a breakdown of how much power each app uses while it’s running and when it’s in the background.
You can use this information to identify a battery-draining app, which is an app that uses more power while in the background than when it’s running.
Check battery health
If you haven’t replaced your phone’s battery 4 years or more ago, the maximum capacity of the battery may have decreased significantly resulting in the battery running low quickly.
You can verify this by following these steps:
Open the Settings app.
Then choose Battery.
Click on the Battery Health & Charging option.
Check the maximum capacity of the battery.
If it is less than 80%, then that may be the reason why the battery is running low quickly and not the new iOS 16.4 update.
Wait for the next iOS update
If there is no problem with the battery or apps, but you are facing low battery issue after installing the new update then all you can do is wait for Apple to release a new update to fix the problem.
As Apple improves each update to include fixes for the problems that appeared in the previous update.
