Millions of iPhone users are reporting severe battery drain issue centered mainly around Apple Music, as first highlighted by MacRumors. Being a subscriber or not, whether the app is in use or not, it just keeps draining battery in the background.
The built-in (pre-install app) monopolizes the resources of the battery regardless – even if deleted. It badly hits the iPhone and it lasts merely a few hours on fully charged battery, reports Forbes. Apple Support has acknowledged the issue and is working around providing a solution, however, currently the only solution is the nuclear option- i.e. full factory reset.
Several iPhone users have also been experiencing a second problem in the last 4 to 5 days, and this one has hit at a larger scale. Several of the iOS applications, Tinder, TikTok, Vimeo, Spotify, have been crashing down repeatedly after opening. The root of the problem is Facebook SDK bug that makes these apps Login with Facebook functionality. Even if one does not use Facebook to log into these apps, the app will still crash merely because of the functionality is part of the app.
