anyone else noticed battery life getting worse?

So, I've had my phone for about a year now, and it feels like the battery life has taken a nosedive recently. I used to get through the whole day without a hitch, but now I'm scrambling for a charger by mid-afternoon. I've tried all the usual tricks like dimming the screen, turning off background app refresh, and even switched to dark mode, but it doesn't seem to help much. I'm wondering if it's just my phone or if anyone else has noticed this happening too? Also, if anyone's got any tips or tricks that have worked for them, I'm all ears! Maybe it's something I haven't thought of yet. Let's chat about it. 😊 Here's hoping it's not just the inevitable fate of all smartphones!
