Support Weekly iOS Battery Support Megathread

0 Upvotes

General advice for those concerned about their battery from the Support FAQ Wiki:

Battery health

Battery health depends on usage and a variety of other factors. It is normal to see a decrease in battery health by 7-10% per year, resulting in a battery health of 80-85% after 2 years. This number can fluctuate, remain the same, or decrease quickly over a small period and should not cause undue concern.

Apple recommend battery replacement when your device falls below 80% battery health if you notice reduced battery life. If it falls below 80% within the first year you may be eligable for a free battery replacement. It fails after your warranty, it's a $69-$89 USD replacement cost for a battery. Contact Apple Support here.

You can find more information about battery health and performance from Apple here.

You can check the cycles count with Coconut Battery for Mac or iCopyBot for Windows.

​

Battery life

Issues relating to battery life can be categorised in three ways:

  1. Normal battery life that is to be expected due to use
  2. Reduced battery life caused by a recent update, iOS indexing, an iOS bug, or a third-party application
  3. Reduced battery life, or other abnormalities such as overheating or sudden power-off, caused by device or battery aging

If you experience issues with your battery:

  1. Check your battery health. If it is below 80% or you are experiencing issues you suspect are related to device or battery age, see Apple Support.
  2. If you have a new or recently updated/restored device, wait a number of days for background process to complete. If you continue to have issues, wait for a further iOS update. If you are on iOS Beta, you can expect to have a decreased battery life.
  3. Review the advice below on maximising battery life
  4. Consider restoring your device.
  5. If issues persist, contact Apple Support.

​

Maximising battery life - the amount of time your device runs before it needs to be recharged.

  • Use low power mode (This reduces mail fetch, turns off background app refresh and increases the auto lock timer)
  • Remove apps from background app refresh
  • Ensure auto lock is on
  • Turn off auto brightness and manually reduce brightness
  • Use dark mode if your device has an OLED display
  • Clearing background apps from the app switcher does not improve battery life

​

Maximising battery lifespan - the amount of time your battery lasts until it needs to be replaced.

  • Avoid extreme temperatures
  • If you notice that your iPhone gets hot when charging, remove it from its case
  • Store your iPhone in a cool place, switched off, and half-charged if not using it for long periods - and charge it every 6 months when in storage

I'm really curious how this was done. I've been looking for a project like this for a long time. Does anyone know if it's built on actual ios 1assets or recreated from scratch?

There’s this weird thing with AI where they refuse to use the metric system and always uses the imperial system . At least in other AIs I can put it in their memory but I don’t see such settings for Siri AI. How do I go about this?

Discussion Updating to IOS 27?

• Upvotes

Never been a fan of updating my phone to the newest ios, because in the past it would cause issues and whatnot. I have a iphone 14 and I’m still on ios 17.6.1 😭😭 and a lot of the apps I use are starting to require ios 18 or newer to use them. My question is, is it worth it updating to 27? has anyone have any problems or issues with it or am i chillin without it?

Support Group chat creating separate conversations in Messages

• Upvotes

I have a group chat with my brother and cousin. The chat is pinned in messages and has 3 emojis as the chat name. At the top of this convo displays the contact photos of my brother and cousin, as you would normally expect. I can’t ever leave this convo because iOS doesn’t allow you to leave a group chat if it’s only 3 ppl. Has to be 4 or more to have leave ability.

Lately, when they text me, it sometimes creates a separate conversation. The conversation has the same chat name but it’s unpinned. What’s noteworthy is that at the top of the unpinned chat, it has the contact photo of my cousin, my brother… and me. as if I’m in the convo twice. Because normally you don’t see your contact photo in a group. I am able to leave the conversation, but it doesn’t stop it from happening again. Brother and cousin don’t even have my email in their contact of me so it can’t be like they’re selecting my email address.

I tried to delete both convos but this keeps on happening. Usually 2-3x per day. I leave it and continue texting in the original group chat.

Has anyone ever seen this?

Support Can't drag folders into iPhone apps anymore from either Windows Apple Devices or OS X.

1 Upvotes

I used to be able to drag a folder into foobar2000 or other apps. This is how I have my music collection organized. Now I can't drag folders anymore; it says a cancel icon when I try. I can't drag individual files either. But I can click "Add files" and add them one by one that way? This happens on both Windows 10 and OS X, so I'm wondering if Apple removed this function and why...

Support WhatsApp is taking up too much storage. Help!

My WhatsApp is taking up too much storage. When I check my iPhone settings, it shows that WhatsApp is using up to 33 GB, whereas WhatsApp’s own storage settings show only around 5–10 GB in total. I’m not sure if it’s caused by cached data, but I don’t want to lose my chats. Is there any way to clear this extra storage safely?

As the title says, whenever I’m listening to music and scrolling social media or discord and I open a video, the music pauses. This didn’t happen before so it is really frustrating.

When I leave a comment, if I make a mistake on a word and want to fix it, I’d normally double tap the word. Not sure what happened but if it’s on the bottom row, I can’t double tap it easily anymore. I have to hold above the word and then move down to the spelling mistake.

Support Apple Music Randomly Open in iPhone on it’s Own

Thumbnail
0 Upvotes

Hello,

Has anyone else experienced unusual behavior with the Apple Music app opening on its own on an iPhone?

I have been experiencing this issue since updating my iPhone to iOS 27.0.1. Before locking my iPhone, I make sure all apps are closed. However, when I unlock the device later, I occasionally find that the Apple Music app has opened by itself and is displaying the Music home screen.

This behavior never occurred on my iPhone prior to updating to iOS 27.0.1. I’m curious whether anyone else has experienced the same issue or knows what might be causing it.

Thank you.
