battery drains my iPhone SE (3)since update to 18.3 this week

My phone worked fine until Saturday’s update to 18.3 but now the battery drains fast and I haven’t even used it today. How can I fix it?

After an update, your iPhone has to carry out several background tasks including indexing to complete. In which you can experience an increased battery drain. Give it a few days, and your iPhone should return to normal.


In the meantime, please read my User Tip which further explains this: Addressing the Common Increased Battery Drain and Thermal Temperature Conditions Your iPhone May Face After Setup and Updates


By the way, the latest iOS which was released today is iOS 18.3.1.
