Weekly Megathread Weekly iOS Battery Support Megathread
General advice for those concerned about their battery from the Support FAQ Wiki:
Battery health
Battery health depends on usage and a variety of other factors. It is normal to see a decrease in battery health by 7-10% per year, resulting in a battery health of 80-85% after 2 years. This number can fluctuate, remain the same, or decrease quickly over a small period and should not cause undue concern.
Apple recommend battery replacement when your device falls below 80% battery health if you notice reduced battery life. If it falls below 80% within the first year you may be eligable for a free battery replacement. It fails after your warranty, it's a $69-$89 USD replacement cost for a battery. Contact Apple Support here.
You can find more information about battery health and performance from Apple here.
You can check the cycles count with Coconut Battery for Mac or iCopyBot for Windows.
Battery life
Issues relating to battery life can be categorised in three ways:
- Normal battery life that is to be expected due to use
- Reduced battery life caused by a recent update, iOS indexing, an iOS bug, or a third-party application
- Reduced battery life, or other abnormalities such as overheating or sudden power-off, caused by device or battery aging
If you experience issues with your battery:
- Check your battery health. If it is below 80% or you are experiencing issues you suspect are related to device or battery age, see Apple Support.
- If you have a new or recently updated/restored device, wait a number of days for background process to complete. If you continue to have issues, wait for a further iOS update. If you are on iOS Beta, you can expect to have a decreased battery life.
- Review the advice below on maximising battery life
- Consider restoring your device.
- If issues persist, contact Apple Support.
Maximising battery life - the amount of time your device runs before it needs to be recharged.
- Use low power mode (This reduces mail fetch, turns off background app refresh and increases the auto lock timer)
- Remove apps from background app refresh
- Ensure auto lock is on
- Turn off auto brightness and manually reduce brightness
- Use dark mode if your device has an OLED display
- Clearing background apps from the app switcher does not improve battery life
Maximising battery lifespan - the amount of time your battery lasts until it needs to be replaced.
- Avoid extreme temperatures
- If you notice that your iPhone gets hot when charging, remove it from its case
- Store your iPhone in a cool place, switched off, and half-charged if not using it for long periods - and charge it every 6 months when in storage

What does the auto option even do? I thought that it turned off Live Photo when you shoot stationary things I.e. a piece of paper or an object on a table but every time I do that the photos are still live so what gives?

Support Question about Apple Care One
Hi,
Apple Care One is new to the UK so I don’t really have much knowledge around this
I’m looking to potentially get the new iPhone once it releases this month and hand down my current phone to a family member.
As my phone currently is in an Apple Care One subscription I know I won’t be able to continue paying for it. My question is can the family member register Apple Care themselves under Apple Care One or even an individual Apple Care plan?
I feel the US folk may know more on this than us UK folks as it’s only launched this year here.
I’d appreciate any info you have on it

Discussion Blocking update on iPhone?
So I was texting my friend. They haven’t responded. I didn’t find out until couple days that now your messages will say delivered even if they block you. I been looking and apparently there’s no way to find out if you’re blocked unless you risk calling and find out. So I tried to check on my MacBook. Keep in mind I haven’t synched my MacBook in a while. So I synched my messages to my MacBook. I went to check on our texts. On my phone it just says delivered but on my MacBook it shows that last message as read. So that I would assume means I haven’t been blocked just ignored the text? It was the same for other texts messages with other friends but after I synched my MacBook, all new sent messages started showing up as delivered for everyone.

Support Driving focus won’t stay on
iPhone 13ProMax-IOS 26.6.1
Good afternoon. So my issue is that my driving focus won’t stay on when I turn it on “manually,” it’ll turn off sometime during the ride by itself. I have it set to “manually” because I only want to use it while I’m on my motorcycle ONLY. That’s why I don’t use “automatically” or “when connected to Bluetooth” because it’ll turn on while I’m in my work truck and I do a lot of driving. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Any workarounds?
I appreciate any help or advice, TIA.

Support My phone won’t open, but I can still play music, change volume and turn on the light?
it’s really weird. I can’t unlock my phone, I can’t even restart it or power it down.
I can play music, the notifications are coming up, I can move them up and down but I can’t move them.
it’s like my phone is frozen but it’s also not? I can play music, siri doesn’t work. But I can turn on the flash.
phones at 50% I’m waiting for it to go down but it’s taking ages.
Last thing I did was use Apple Pay and it start glitching when I did that. What else can I do?

Discussion Is there a way to automatically stop YouTube after 20 minutes at night?
My girlfriend falls asleep listening to YouTube almost every night.
She has YouTube Premium, so she starts a video, locks the iPhone and just listens to it.
The problem is she usually falls asleep within 10 minutes, but if the video is 2 hours long, it keeps playing the whole time.
I know YouTube has a sleep timer and iOS has the “Stop Playing” timer, but both need to be set manually every night.
Is there any app or automation that can do something like this automatically?
For example:
If YouTube is playing between 8–10 PM and the phone is locked → keep playing for 20 minutes → pause playback.
Basically set it once and never think about it again.
Does something like this exist?

Discussion ''Answered on another device'' and FaceID appearing in status bar when turned off
My iPhone 16 seems to behave weirdly recently.
Among other things, my girlfriend called me today and I've never heard the call or received the notification about it. When we met, she asked me why I didn't pick up, and explained her the situation.
On her iPhone the call is shown as rejected, while on mine it's shown as answered on another device.
The only other device that is connected to my Apple Account is Macbook but never used it at that moment.
iOS is updated to the most recent one 26.6.1.
Couple of weeks ago I've also noticed FaceID turning on on my status bar, while it's completely turned off.
Only these two devices are logged on my Apple Account.
WTF is happening with iOS?

Support iPhone 13 started acting up
So today I noticed my iPhone 13 started turning full immersion modes on and off repeatedly, by itself, specifically the personal and work ones. I thought this was just an automation I’d set up going off, but I checked, and it wasn’t. Later today I noticed my WiFi was off, but I didn’t disable it. I tried enabling it, and it turned back off. And now, for as much as I try turning it on, it keeps disabling, by itself, right infront of my eyes.
I don’t think it’s an iOS bug, since it’s pretty severe and I didn’t do any update today or yesterday.
No online help forum has been able to help me yet.

My braided cable got bent and stuck due to the material splitting, and then it eventually ripped and now it looks like this. I only have 10% and I have school in the morning, so is it safe for me to charge my phone even though the material is ruined?
