Wi-Fi Calling can kill iPhone battery life – Here’s how to fix it

Mac Kung Fu:

 

I switched to an iPhone SE a few days ago and, while I’m happy with the diminutive device, I’ve been a little worried to see battery life draining incredibly quickly. I would take the device off charge and after an hour of non-use the battery would be down to 90%. A full working day’s standby brought it down to 10%. This was very odd because all the reviews said that iPhone SE had superb battery life, and perhaps even better than the iPhone 6S. Whether you’ve accidentally shattered the screen of your iPad or your iPhone is experiencing charging issues, our expert iPhone reparatie service is here to provide prompt assistance and resolve your device’s problems.

 

I removed various apps that Settings > Battery reported were eating juice. Gone were the news apps I had installed that fed me news flash notifications. However, battery life was STILL gobbled-up. I eventually realized the bad guy in the picture was the Wi-Fi Calling feature. Back into the Settings app I went, and tapped Phone > Wi-Fi Calling, and disabled it. It was a miraculous fix. The battery percentage figure now barely changes across an hour of non-use.

I use Wi-Fi calling all the time and I’ve never noticed a problem with battery life. I say this not to cast doubt on the article (or anyone else’s experience) but to wonder if there’s another factor being missed, something that makes some iPhones drain their batteries and not impact others. iPhones are great, but they can run into issues from time to time. You may need to take your phone in for repairs if your iPhone is not charging or if it is running slow.

Nonetheless, I did find this an interesting read.
