Gonna be a long post, but here goes. Also take into account I typed this . I didn’t notice this until late Sunday/Monday, but my iPad 2017 seems to drain battery faster. Sunday afternoon I downloaded a Jumanji Epic Run game and I guess it drains battery life since after almost an hour of playing, I went from 55-60% battery to like 25-30% from what I remember. I then noticed my battery seemed to be draining fast on Monday when not doing anything intense, just browsing on Safari mainly. I uninstalled that Jumanji game, but my battery still seemed to drain faster. I was originally on iOS 12.4, but yesterday I updated to iOS 13.3 since I thought it might help but it hasn’t.
I didn’t change any settings that would cause battery drainage. Background App Refresh is on, but it’s always been on since I got this tablet almost two years ago. On weekends I’d wake up at like 4am and my tablet would be fully charged at 100%, so I’d unplug it and keep it near me and go back to sleep, and when I woke up around 9-10am it’d still be at 100%. But since Monday I’ve seen that even if I’m not using my iPad and the screen is off, it’ll still drain a bit. Like this morning I unplugged my iPad and went on a few things quick and it was still at 100% at 9:30, and I left to run errands, came back at noon and the battery was at 98%. And since then and now while I’m typing this I’ve only been on Safari and my battery is now down to 86% in 45 minutes... It seems when I got on it at noon when it was at 98%, it dropped pretty fast to like 91% in about five minutes of using Safari...
All I’m wondering is if this is normal battery usage maybe, and perhaps I’m just looking too into the battery level since playing that game? And how come under battery settings screen on shows like 9h, but screen off always shows 0m? Does screen off mean the iPad is turned off, or if the screen is just off like I hit the power button to let it rest? If it’s the latter, shouldn’t it be more than 0m since when my iPad is charging the screen isn’t on and will only light up if I get a push notification? Sorry for the long post, this has just been bugging me. Could that Jumanji game have ruined my battery?
From being at 98% at noon to 63% now at 2:10 and only using Safari, watching YouTube for like 10 minutes, and playing one game for five minutes, is this normal? And again, under the battery settings what does screen on and screen off mean? For the whole day it’ll say screen on 9h or something, but screen off is always at 0m even though sometimes my iPad display is off and it’s charging. Or does screen off mean iPad completely turned off and not just in standby/sleep?
