Hi All!

I am an iPhone 11 user on the latest version 13.4.1 and facing a couple of issues.

One of them is the battery life, which is suddenly much worse and I can only think of iOS updates (13.4 and then 13.4.1) as the only changes to my phone. From what I have managed to read somewhere else it looks like I am not the only one affected.

The other issue is related to embedded video in WhatsApp from Youtube links. When I got a message from someone sharing a Youtube video, it usually comes with a "play" button and a link. I always like to click "play" button to open the video within WhatsApp to save time but randomly it opens the video in WhatsApp and at the same time it opens the Youtube app, which is quite annoying!
It's probably worth to mention that I upgraded from iPhone 6 to iPhone 11 but I didn't take any backup apart from the WhatsApp one, everything else was a fresh install.
After a while, I have finally decided to lose my WhatsApp history to try to resolve this issue so I deleted the app and downloaded it again from App Store but unfortunately the issue is still there :(

Is anyone else facing the same issue?

I am tempted to go for another fresh and clean install, this time without WhatsApp. Any advice on what you can safely backup using iCloud to avoid bringing back any iOS undesired file or any other thing that can ruin the clean install??

Thanks in advance

UPDATE: I finally went for a restore from MAC and it looks like the embedded video has definitely been resolved!

Not sure about battery life yet but it also seems to be lasting longer. I have noticed that battery health went up from 96% to 97% after doing that restore, which matches what coconutBattery found.
I still feel that something is not very well managed in terms of battery drain in iOS 13.4 and 13.4.1 but I guess there is nothing we can really do.

UPDATE2: I am experiencing the issue while trying to open embedded videos from Youtube in WhatsApp.
When hitting "play" button in WhatsApp, it tries to open the video in its app but at the same time Youtube app is open :(

Anyone experiencing that issue?
