Is it me, or does the battery seem to be draining more quickly?

Hi all,

Is it me, or is it the recent updates that seem to have drained my battery? It just seems to drain faster than usual.

I have:

- Put apps to sleep (device care)
- Cleared the cache
- Turned down the brightness
- Checked for updates
- Used power-saving mode

Does anyone else think the same or is just me?

Thank you.

Hi

After any major update it's recommended to wipe the phones cache partition

Plug into a working PC or laptop or other Samsung device

It's possible an update may have reset the battery learning feature and the algorithm has kicked back in. Leave it for a week to see if the battery usage settles down again.

I think YouTube seems to be draining a lot more power than before. I use to get well over 13h SoT on a single charge with mostly YouTube, but it's dropped significantly as of late (about a month or so). I don't know if it's some system change using HDR in some ads for example, but I certainly have noticed more battery consumption.

Thanks. I think YouTube has also been a contributor to battery drainage, but I’m not sure why apart from what you have suggested.
