Hey, do you have any settings that prevents iPhone from being drained at idle/standby?
I usually lost 7/8% per night, about 1% per hour

Here are my own settings:
  • Auto brightness, TrueTone, by default
  • Wifi and BT ON
  • 4G (set on 4G only, i dont have 5G)
  • App background OFF
  • Mail Push OFF (1 hour)
  • Notifications (messages, social network, i removed Whatsapp notifications because it stays on the background too much like 2 minutes of using and 20 mins of background despite of being disabled)
For users who have lowest idle/standby battery drain, whats your settings?

Thanks
 
This is what my iPhone loses overnight (almost nothing).
Wi-Fi and cellular and Bluetooth are left on. Nothing is optimized. I often force quit all my apps except 1 or 2 before going to bed, but sometimes not.

My battery usage overnight looks similar to this, and I also have not tweaked any settings...basically using all the default ones. (ex. Mail push is ON, Background App Refresh is ON, etc.)

@bubulol, have you gone into the battery settings to see if it shows what was using the battery overnight? You can tap each hour for a more granular view. If no apps are listed, it's likely just the battery draining on it's own. What iPhone/iOS do you have? How old is the battery?
 
Its brand new iPhone 13 Mini, latest official iOS 15
Yes i will check further if there is any app on the background overnight
 
I think that is just normal behaviour considering the mini has a much smaller battery than its siblings. I might switch back to the normal 14 or even a Pro next year because of the battery situation. The battery life is not bad in daily life usage, it just doesn't reach my rather high expectation I guess.
 
The only apps who stay on the background when i got notifications or using them: whatsapp and flipboard
Still on the background while i disabled it (even notifications)
Whats wrong with Whatsapp?
 
My biggest battery user (according to the battery section of settings ) is SIRI which I never use

Turn everything related to SIRI off. That means going into settings and opening each app setting and turning all those freaking SIRI toggles off - one at a time - for every app except the ones you want to be searchable.
 
1% per hour of battery drain is standard on an iPhone and pretty much any other phone. I charge my phone during the night so I never notice the drain. You could always switch it off if you aren’t using it, such as when you’re sleeping, which would obviously stop the battery from draining.

Post a screen shot of your 24 hour battery usage chart when you are seeing the overnight battery drain. Select “SHOW ACTIVITY” to reveal the app list times.

Do you have anything paired to Bluetooth on your phone? Apple Watch paired?

Thanks - I had done that and just checked - it is off is every application. This just started with 15. - Never before. So at the moment it shows that Siri account for 66% . I have actually turned SIRI off for a couple of days. The only reason it is on at all is so I can use CarPlay although I don't do commands. Who knows?
