Strange battery usage stat.

[HankHowdy]

One line reads as Backup. It's using quite a bit of battery. I don't even have back up on.

What can I do?

iPhone 6 9.2

Thanks.

No, never use back ups, manual or iTunes.

Just as an aside, you really should backup - iTunes at least won't use your battery.

I don't really need it. I never have anything that I need to save.

so when you buy a new phone you will enter everything manually because you don't back up? makes no sense

What is there to manually enter in?


How often do you buy a new phone?

So I enter my iTunes info in a couple times. No biggie. Spend ten minutes a year.

iTunes backup can be down wirelessly, which could use battery.

iTunes backup is enabled automatically. So if you sync with iTunes via USB or wirelessly, a backup is still being created.

I never use them or see them. Interesting.
