Ever since I installed ios 12.2 last week by battery life has been trash. I would guess about 20-25% worse such that I am having to charge my phone when I get home from work whereas previously I would only ever need to charge overnight.

I think the culprit may be youtube music app – or at least it is a contributor. When I listen to music (even downloaded tracks with the screen off), my iphone gets hot and battery drains much faster. This didn’t happen before. I also realised that I got decent battery life over the weekend – when I didn’t listen to music at all. And trying out apple music today, my phone does not get hot at all.

Has anyone else found the same? Any solution? I would consider switching to apple music but I like the ad free youtube videos and don’t want to pay for both…
