How to Identify Apps Draining iPhone Battery

Step-by-Step Guide to Identify Apps Draining iPhone Battery

Now that you have access to data from last hour to 10 days, browse around in the section until you find the apps that are draining a lot of your battery. Use both the percentage metric and the background activity stats to figure out which app has been consistently draining your battery.

Step 1: Go to the Last 10 Days section and tap on the Show Battery Usage feature. The app on top here has been draining the most battery over the last 10 days.



Step 2: Switch to the Show Activity option and now you can see which apps have been active the most time. If an app has been using a lot of energy in the background, you’ll find the background time stats to be in hours instead of minutes.



Step 3: To view apps using the most battery life in the last day, switch to the Last 24 hours tab. Again, the app on the top of the list will be the app which drained the most battery life.

In the screenshot below, notice the Google Photos option. It’s has used as much battery life by operating two hours in the background, as Instagram has used by active on screen for 5 hours. Clearly, Google Photos is draining my battery unnecessarily in the background.

Clearly, I’ll have to do something about the background syncing process on Google Photos. If you’re in the similar boat and you can’t just delete the app outright, try disabling Background App Refresh for the given app.
