iPhone users are always worried about one thing; ‘why is my iPhone battery draining so fast?’ This is the question that almost every iPhone user has. The thing is that; Apple is specialized in providing the customers with iPhones having the best features, but one thing that Apple has always been trying to cater is the battery issue. Battery lives of iPhones are the worst, but we tend to use iPhones because of the ease they provide us within doing so! There is no permanent solution for the battery drainage issue of iPhones, but we can identify certain things that drain out the battery of your iPhone quickly. But if the battery of your iPhone drains unrealistically quickly then we suggest you sell damaged iPhone.

Why Is My iPhone Battery Draining So Fast?

iPhones’ batteries usually drain out quickly because of the following reasons:

1. Overnight Or Overcharging:

Not only iPhones but all of the smartphones are much vulnerable towards the damage caused by overcharging or overnight charging. Although lithium-ion batteries that are used in iPhones are prone to overcharging issue as they don’t actually overcharge. This is a myth that iPhones overcharge, but what they actually do is that when the battery reaches to 100% charge, they stop themselves from being charged until it comes at 99% and then it charges for the remaining 1% again. So the charging starts and ends back and forth on its own automatically. Although this doesn’t affect the battery, the continued charging does affect the battery. So although the batteries don’t overcharge, still you should plug out your iPhone once it reaches 100%. This is the first reason to ‘why is my iPhone battery draining so fast?’

1. Unofficial Adapters and Charging Cables:

The original adapter and charging cable that comes with iPhones are the best ones to charge your iPhones with. Sometimes when we lose or damage our charging cables or adapters, we tend to charge our iPhones with extra cables that we have in our houses. If you charge your iPhones with such cheap or unofficial chargers then it is more likely for the battery of your iPhone to be drained quickly. We actually don’t know what quality materials are used in these cheap or unofficial chargers and if the materials used in the charger are not good then it will surely harm the battery life of your iPhone. So we always suggest you use official chargers, and if you don’t; the unofficial chargers can also become the cause of an explosion of your iPhone’s battery.

1. Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Mobile Data Are Always On:

We always suggest you turn off the Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and Mobile data of your iPhone when you aren’t using it. The main reason that we suggest you this thing is that when these options are turned on, your iPhone is continuously in processing mode. When your Wi-Fi is on, your mobile phone continuously searches for the Wi-Fi connections available nearby. And if it’s connected, then the Applications installed in your iPhone automatically start working in the background, and hence they drain the battery of your iPhone.

Mobile data does the same with your iPhone as it makes the applications downloaded in your iPhone work on their own automatically in the background. These applications might not send you any notification while doing so, but they are actually running in the background, hence draining your battery.

In the case of Bluetooth, your iPhone searches and tries to pair with the open devices in its reach. While doing so, it drains your iPhone’s battery in no time. So by looking at these reasons we recommend you to turn off all of these three options when you aren’t using them, so you don’t actually wonder anymore ‘why is my iPhone battery draining so fast?’

1. Running Applications:

Applications installed in your iPhones might be the reason behind the fast drainage of battery. Sometimes we don’t care about the applications that might be running

at the background. These applications can be easily closed by double tapping the home button on your iPhone, or sliding down on the home screen (depending on the model of iPhone). When you do so, you would see applications that are running in the background. You must close these applications every now and then to prevent your iPhone from the quick battery drainage issue.

There might be another reason for battery drainage that is related to applications; sometimes we download the applications that we don’t even use. You should never keep such applications in your iPhone as these extra applications keep on running in the background and they result in the quick battery drainage.

1. Screen Brightness:

It might happen that the brightness of the display screen of your iPhone is always on the brightest level. Although iPhones have one of the best displays amongst its competitors,

this display drains the battery of your iPhone as well. We recommend you not to put it on the brightest level every time. But we don’t even suggest you change this level every now and then. The perfect thing for you to do so is to set your iPhone brightness on auto mode.

On auto mode, your iPhone adjusts the brightness level according to the lighting conditions you are in, making it easier for you to use your iPhone. This helps you in saving the battery life of your iPhone in such a way that you might not think about ‘why is my iPhone battery draining so fast’

any more.

1. Automatic Downloads:

If you keep the automatic download option ‘on’ all the time then that might also drain your iPhone’s battery faster. This option is selected by default and you would have to manually go into the settings application and then ‘iTunes & App Store’ to manually turn off the updates. What happens here is that when you leave this option selected; the applications are updated automatically whenever you get connected with a Wi-Fi connection and this drains up the battery of your iPhone faster than usual.

At

some instances, you might not need to update the application at those certain moments. All you want to do at those moments is to save battery life of your iPhone. Due to this reason, you can turn off the automatic updates from your iPhone and save the battery drainage of your iPhone.

1. Airdrop Is Always On!

It might have happened that you haven’t checked the airdrop option if it’s turned on or off. If such is the case, you have to swipe up the screen of your iPhone to open the control

center of your iPhone. Over there you would see the option of Airdrop, just turn that option off.

Airdrop is used to transfer data i.e. videos, pictures and other multimedia files from one iPhone to another without any help of internet and other applications. If this option is continuously turned on then you might find quicker battery drainage of your iPhone.

Bonus – Battery Saving Mode:

One thing that we might suggest you is to turn on the battery saving mode in your iPhone if you are at a place where you cannot charge your iPhone and you really want your iPhone to be powered on for more time. You can find this option if you go into the settings app of your iPhone, there you can press the battery option to open the battery menu. In the battery menu, you would find the option to turn on the power saving mode, turn the option on. The battery icon on the right top of your screen would turn yellow.
