Below are some things to consider when trying to find the cause of your phone battery draining when not in use:
- Check your phone, your apps, and your settings to find out what might be using battery life when you’re not actively using your device
- Check for background app activity, look for apps that might be refreshing while in the background
- Try to reset your device and see if that helps the battery drain
- Uninstall any unnecessary apps that are using power in the background
- Reduce the amount of auto-updating features, such as email and social media accounts on your device
- Turn off Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and/or location services when not in use
