Battery drain after One UI 6.1 update S23 Ultra Contact Storage

[MIrfan]

So after the recent update to my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, the Contact Storage app has started to drain the battery excessively. Ironically, there is no way to stop this app, and there are no settings that allow you to restrict its battery consumption or put it into deep sleep mode. As a result, it continuously drains the battery. Before this update, a full charge would last me more than a day, but now I have to charge my phone twice a day just because of this Contact Storage app. I have tried all the solutions suggested in this community to address this issue, but nothing has worked. I hope Samsung will fix this problem in the next update, but I don't know when that will be. Maybe it will come with Android 15 or before they update One UI to version 6.1.1 or something similar.

Try clearing the cache for the app, then reboot your device. You can also try wiping the phones cache partition. Run app booster in good guardians.

Already done this but still same issue. Nothing progressive.

Have you thought of backing up and factory resetting?

Hi, its a system app. Force stop the app and clear its data and cache. Battery drain is normal after any major update. It should settle down after a couple of weeks.

Yes I did that also but after couple week still draining with same speed.

Its a simple solve. I tried and worked with me. Turn on the Developer Mode. Go into Running Services and Stop Contacts... Thats it. If you check, the timer in the Contacts Storage will stop and no more drains...
