Check battery usage

Battery settings can show which apps are using the most energy. Compare current usage with your normal routine instead of judging a single heavy-use session.

Review iPhone storage

iPhone Storage can help show large categories such as photos, apps and media. Review recommendations carefully before removing content you may want to keep.

Keep iOS and apps current

Updates can include bug fixes and performance improvements. After a major update, temporary background processing can sometimes affect battery life for a short period.

When the phone feels unusually warm

Demanding apps, charging and hot surroundings can all increase temperature. Let the phone cool naturally and avoid extreme cooling methods.

Note: Features and menu names can differ by model, software version, and region. Check your phone manufacturer’s official support pages for device-specific instructions.
