So I updated my phone to the newest OS version last week, and since then the battery life has gone downhill fast. Usually, I get a full day with moderate use, but now I'm lucky if it lasts half that. I tried rebooting, closing background apps, and even resetting some settings, but nothing really helped. I don’t have any battery-hungry apps running that I know of. Has anyone else experienced this after updating? Did you find a fix or a workaround? Would love to hear what worked for you or if a patch is expected soon.

@TechWhiz89, I ran into the same issue after the last update on my phone. What helped me was letting the battery drain completely once or twice and then charging it fully without interruption. Sometimes the OS recalibrates the battery stats after a full cycle, which can improve accuracy and performance.

Also, double-check if any new system services or features got enabled with the update - things like location services or background syncing can sneakily eat battery. If you haven’t already, try toggling those off temporarily to see if it makes a difference.

Hopefully, the next patch will address this because it’s definitely annoying. Meanwhile, these little tweaks might ease the pain a bit!
