Last Updated On July 28, 2022 by GeeksModo Staff

iPhone Xr users have been complaining for the past few days on social media of battery drain issues brought by the iOS 14 update. They are also complaining about overheating issues which they never had before.

If you have updated to iOS 14 or are on iOS 14 and your iPhone XR Battery is Draining Fast. I will explain whats happening and what you can do to fix the problem.

Please note: Every situation is different and that these are only potential solutions that may work for some and not for others. Despite your frustration we are going to see how best we can fix the iPhone XR battery drain issue in iOS 14.

Several users have reported that their iPhone XR battery is draining fast in iOS 14 which makes it impossible for them to use their device. This can be from the severe where it seems each time you look at the battery percentage it has lost power to sharp drops while the iPhones doing nothing for just a few minutes.

Whatever the battery situation you know your iPhone best and can tell normal from rapid battery drainage.

How to Fix iPhone XR battery drain Problem in iOS 14

Here is what you can do to fix severe battery drain issues with your iPhone XR that’s been updated to iOS 14 or that’s running iOS 14.

Fix 1: Reboot your iPhone

Go ahead and reboot your iPhone and let it boot back up afresh. I have seen cases where this was the issue, highly unlikely but lets start from a fresh boot.

Fix 2: Update All Apps

Head over to the App store and click your profile picture upper right of the display. Now update all Apps that show a update. Apps that are outdated or not compatible can cause problems such as battery drain on your device.

Fix 3: Uninstall Problematic Apps

A poorly coded App could cause issue and is best uninstalled or find a alternative until a update is completed. To see if a battery draining App is causing your problem head over to settings and then battery.

Scroll down and look at battery usage by App. See if any App stands out that’s abnormal especially if you don’t use it or it should not be using so much power. Find the app on the home screen and uninstall.

Fix 4: Check for Updates

Do a software update of your iPhones operating system. If its a general bug Apple will eventually push a bug fix or a more stable version of iOS so head over to settings, General and then Software update.

Fix 5: Backup and Reset

Sometimes Updates don’t go too well and as a last resort a reset is whats needed. So go ahead and backup your iPhone and head over to settings, General, Reset and Erase All content and settings.

After setting your iPhone up again don’t restore right away and test to see if the battery drain is gone. Go ahead and restore your files when you are satisfied. In some cases issue may continue if you do a restore using a software but you should know exactly whats happening after doing this.
