iPad Battery Drain Issue

[Tikatika]

The battery on my 2020 11” iPad Pro is draining battery insanely fast. It doesn’t matter what I am doing. Games, Safari, MR, Facebook, mail, everything. It simply will not hold a charge for 2 hours and zeroed out. 9 months old. I force quit every app before opening a new one and it is still happening. I believe it started when I updated to 15.2. Any suggestions would be helpful.

I know this is an older post but just found it looking for a solution to my battery drain issue.

Have you looked under the battery settings to see what’s causing it? My issue is with deleted apps chewing through 81% battery.

Can you elaborate more on this? If an app is deleted it can’t consume battery at all. Maybe you’re looking at a software bug of sorts?

If you erase the iPad to factory conditions and the issue persists it might be a hardware problem.

It’s my son’s iPad 9. I just checked again and it dropped from 81% to 49% and 6 hours to 3 hours usage. Seems lately, software bug and Apple are synonymous. I’m sick and tired of doing factory resets to fix Apple’s lazy software releases.

you should check the app store on what specific app it is, it could literally be he downloads uses it then deletes app every time

My thoughts as well.

Not sure how to figure out the specific app causing it. I went into the App Store last night when it was draining 81% to see what it can be but it’s a long list. He does delete apps (all games) that he doesn’t like or play any more. I suggested that so he doesn’t use up all his storage with stuff he doesn’t use.

Never figured deleting an app can cause such a problem. Is it still trying to process/sync data while it gets deleted?

I think it might be stuff that he did indeed use then deleted after use but we can only guess.

if it’s heavy use in pattern and performance could be any app that renders or a game , hard to tell but check his account for hidden apps within the app store

The recently deleted apps drain dropped to 4% this morning. Hopefully it will be fully finished doing what it needs to do by tomorrow. Thanks all for the replies. I’ve seen that before at a low percentage drain and thought nothing of it but the 81% the other day was insane. I’ll dig a bit further to make sure it doesn’t show up again.
