Looks to me like your biggest battery drain could be your cell signal.... if your phone doesn’t have a strong signal it’s periodically ramping of the power of the antenna to look for better signal. Try airplane mode when you know you are going to have little to no signal for a longer period of time. my 7 does terribly if I have less than 3 bars. Oh and your YouTube app seems to be stuck in the background. I’d manually kill that app after you are done using it till 11.4 is out of beta.
Got a tip for us?

It’s in the background intentionally. I’m listening to things using YT in the background.
Ahh. Ok I see.
[doublepost=1523474219][/doublepost]That does seem a little high for iMessage unless your screen is on max brightness while you are using it.
iPhone X is set to auto, never changed it. Hoping it was just a huge spike due to iCloud things and it simmers down.
Also if your walking and have bluetooth head phones and you pull your phone out while listen to music and lock after a few seconds the music will stop playing through your headphone until you re select them
it happens all the time with my powerbeats 3 and my wired apple headphones and my old off brand bluetooth headphones
Is that where you have to pay for it? I knew there was a link I had for 11.3 that I didn’t have to pay anything
It's a free public beta program that has been around for a while now.
No, you don’t have to pay to be in the public beta.
Anyway, anyone know how to make the Twitter PWA not reload every single time?
Likely not for a long time if beta 1 is any indication. My best guess is early June.
I've actually just discovered a new bug. Turns out when setting the Apple TV to play through the HomePod(s), it still sends sound to the TV itself. And not only that, it's a fraction of a second out of sync.
Ok, so I have a weirdly specific bug having to do with mail. If you are reading emails with the list filtered to unread emails only, then receive a new email while currently reading one. The mail app will kick you to the next unread email. It’s pretty frustrating if you are in the middle of reading something lengthy like a newsletter. I’d update the wiki, but I don’t have the rights to yet.
Also, all the problems of messages in the cloud from the previous beta still remain. It’s not actually syncing properly across my devices. I think it’s also somehow messed up the storage counts of the messages on my phone. The storage tab in settings says that messages takes up 226MB on my phone and inside of the conversations tab there are individual threads over 1GB in size. So I’m not sure at all what the issue is with syncing, but messages in general seem to be kind of hosed currently.

Paul,
I’ve seeen this behavior as well. Someone posted it might have to do with new iPad battery management feature.
I’ve noticed sometimes on my iPad 10.5, that I can’t get it charged to 100%, but if I unplug it around 95% still have about the same battery usage when I hit 75%.
