While, for iOS 18 Beta users, battery drain is common.

How to manage battery life in iPhones
- Make sure to turn on the auto-brightness feature, this way the device will automatically manage the device brightness based on battery percentage.
- Switch off the mobile data and use WiFi networks as they consume less battery, enabling users to manage battery for day-to-day tasks.
- When in doubt, switch to Low Power Mode which will limit several background app actions and other visual effects.
- Check App Permissions as many of them tend to track your location in the background, causing battery drain. Make sure to turn the location feature off.
