iOS 17.4: iPhone battery drains faster

More and more iPhone owners have installed the update to iOS 17.4. But problems with the update are popping up more and more often. One of the most common complaints is that the iPhone battery drains faster.

Fortunately, you can do something about it yourself. We tell you what is going on and what solutions are available.

1. Be patient

• After an update, your iPhone is always doing things in the background. This causes the battery to drain faster;
• This may take anywhere from a few hours to a day or two, but after a few days the battery consumption will return to normal.

2. Restart iPhone

• Restarting your iPhone can help complete some of the background tasks;
• To restart a recent iPhone, press and hold one of the volume buttons and the side button, wait until ‘turn off’ appears and drag the slider to the right.

3. Update all apps manually

• Old versions of apps can sometimes cause problems with the new operating software. This can cause your iPhone’s battery to drain faster;
• Make sure you update all apps on your iPhone and check in ‘Settings > Battery’ which app has a high battery consumption. Then you can keep an eye on that app.

4. General tips

• Use ‘Power Saving Mode’ (‘Settings > Battery > Power Saving Mode’) when you want to save as much iPhone battery as possible;
• Also turn down the brightness of the screen, because a very bright screen is often one of the biggest battery drainers.
