Apple’s iOS 18.1 update, released yesterday, has been downloaded by millions of iPhone users. However, it has been noted that users are complaining about battery life running out quickly.
Apple released its new operating system update iOS 18.1 yesterday evening.
Millions of iPhone users are complaining about battery life running out quickly after downloading the eagerly awaited update.
One user noticed that the battery was running low while checking their emails 1 hour after installing the update.
iOS 18 also includes urgent security fixes that can prevent your iPhone from being hacked.
WHAT TO DO TO DON’T DRAIN THE BATTERY QUICKLY?
If you’ve just updated and noticed that your battery is running out, here’s what you can do.
A dead battery is when a phone uses more power than it normally does, meaning that the device needs to be charged more often or even kept plugged in.
Although Apple has not commented on the issue yet, a battery run out after a power-intensive update is actually is normal, so the first step is to be patient.
Sometimes, software changes can take hours or even days to complete, which means battery health can drop or fluctuate.
“IT CAN TAKE DAYS”
“Installing a new operating system on an iPhone triggers a number of processes in the background, from indexing to recalibrating the battery, and this can take hours or even days,” Adrian Kingsley-Hughes, a researcher at ZDNet, previously explained.
Users should also check that Wi-Fi Assist, which keeps devices connected to the Internet when Wi-Fi connectivity is weak but can also drain the battery, is turned on.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FEATURE IS NOW AVAILABLE
