Apple new way to warn you about your iPhone battery

Apple new way to warn you about your iPhone battery life

Your iPhone battery often works slower after an update. Fortunately, you now know exactly when this is the case.

Have you noticed that your iPhone battery suddenly drains much faster after a software update? Apple now has an explanation for this common problem. With iOS 18 comes a new alert in battery settings that tells you more about what’s going on behind the scenes.

This notification, found under the Insights and Suggestions section in Settings > Battery, indicates that your iPhone may be consuming power while a recent software update completes in the background. But don’t worry, it will soon be over.

How Apple alerts you about iPhone battery.

The notification, called Update is completing in the background, signals you that you can continue to use your iPhone as usual during an upgrade. Apple explains that it may take a few days for everything to complete, but that your battery and your phone’s temperature will likely be better after that.

By the way, this doesn’t just happen with big updates, like the one from iOS 17 to iOS 18; smaller updates can also temporarily use a little more power. The good news is that you don’t have to do anything for this.

Once the Apple update is fully completed, your battery usage returns to normal. And in some cases, it even improves. Users have reported that the notification disappeared after a day or two and that battery performance improved significantly after that.

Take good care of your battery

So this process is temporary, according to Apple, but it’s still wise to use your battery sparingly during this transition period. Letting your screen brightness adjust automatically and locking your iPhone quickly when you’re not using it can save energy. Limiting location access for apps can also make a difference.

Batteries, however, do not have eternal life. After two years, the maximum capacity may have decreased by about 20 percent simply due to wear and tear. If you notice that your battery is draining faster and faster, an Apple replacement can be a good investment. For a relatively low price, you can give your device a new battery and it will perform like new again.

With these insights, you don’t have to worry if your iPhone suddenly drains faster after an update. All you have to do is wait patiently for the background processes to finish. Then you can get back to making the most of your device and all that iOS has to offer.
