UK COVID-19 app battery drain

[bydandie]

Just noticed 19% battery drain with the UK COVID-19 track and trace app over the past 24hrs On my iPhone 12 Pro. Anyone else noticed this?

Not sure if this is just a 12 issue as on my 11 Pro Max there is less than 1% usage.

Thanks, I’ve never noticed this type of drain before but there was also an update recently so not sure if it’s the device or app?

Are you sure you’re not seeing “19% of whatever the battery drain was” rather than “19% battery drain” ?
If you look at each individual hourly column you can see that although notifications is running, it’s not actually recoding any battery usage.
I often see that although battery has dropped (say) 2% in an hour a particular app show (say) 12% battery which can’t be !
