Warning: installing the iOS 17.4 update will reduce the battery life of the iPhone

After installing the iOS 17.4 update, many Apple users have experienced the problem of reducing the battery life of their iPhone. But what is the story and how to solve the problem?

Last week, Apple released the iOS 17.4 update, and if you live in the European Union, you'll get a different user experience on your iPhone. Your iPhone can now install apps from unofficial stores, use mobile browsers with rendering engines other than WebKit, remove Safari from its default browser, make in-app purchases using third-party platforms, and more. .

In other markets, iPhone users will have to settle for a more minor but still useful update. For example, with iOS 17.4 installed, users can now set the “Stolen Device Protection” feature to any location, not just familiar locations.

When stolen device protection is enabled, your iPhone will require Face ID or Touch ID authentication before making important changes. With this feature, your authentication will be required to perform important tasks such as changing Apple ID, resetting password, Face ID or Touch ID and disabling Find My.

A big bug will be added to your iPhone with iOS 17.4!

The iOS 17.4 update also comes with 118 new emojis, some bug fixes, and an unwanted feature. Apparently, after updating their iPhone to iOS 17.4, some users have noticed that their battery drains faster. A user posted on social networks and stated that his iPhone battery lost 40% of its charge in just two hours.

Another user said that the battery of his device consumed about 13% of charge after only writing and sending two tweets on social network X. Another user's iPhone battery suddenly dropped from 60% to 0% without any special use of the phone.

After installing the iOS 17.4 update, charging the phone's battery has become a big crisis. A user who owns an iPhone 11 Pro charged his phone with a 40% charge, but after 4 hours, his battery is still not fully charged and remains at 94%.

In this regard, several users have published tweets and warned others about installing the new iOS update. At first glance, you might think that this is a common occurrence after every update, because there are changes going on in the background of the system. But the discharge of charge that users experience is beyond normal.

How to fix the problem of iPhone charging prematurely?

First of all, force reset your iPhone. Hold the power button and hold the volume up button at the same time. Then turn off your phone from the displayed menu. Let it turn off for a few minutes and turn on the device again. You should make sure that all programs are updated. To do this, open the App Store and tap on your profile picture in the upper right corner of the screen. From here, make sure that all programs are updated.

You can also check which apps are consuming more battery power. To do this, go to the Settings page and the Battery section. If an app is draining your phone's battery abnormally, you can uninstall it. You can also lower the screen brightness or disable the Always On feature and then check the problem. You can also go to battery settings and enable Low Power Mode to reduce background activities as much as possible and help extend battery life.

We hope that any of the above methods have helped restore your phone's battery performance. If you have a similar experience with installing the iOS 17.4 update, be sure to share it with us and other Gadget News users.
