iPad Pro battery life crashed after 18.4

You cleared the cache and history off safari when you removed synced bookmarks and tabs iCloud, right?

Nope why would I do that? The issue seemed to be with the sync process itself. Clearing caches is a good idea if something is not loading right or crashing. Turning the iCloud sync back on will be the next test.

Will update, I am going to update to 18.4.1 released and re-test both conditions.

I only have one of my M4 iPads, but with 18.4.1 and iCloud Safari sync on the battery usage is back to normal. So something definitely was broken.

I know this is a common go to suggestion but it is a misunderstood one. Caches and history only come into play for certain operations and does not apply to this.

Ipad os? No wonder…

Hey epirali, what about iOS 18.5? Do you have those issues again or not?
