Sounds like a hardware malfunction. ?Apple will probably replace your phone. ?Well, hopefully. ?I had a bad experience with a store a year or two ago. ?My iPad battery¡¯s full charge was lasting only about five hours. ?Apple were advertising replacement with an iPad of the same model for $100 in case of a bad battery. ?When I took it to the store, though, I was told five hours was fine - they wouldn¡¯t honor their advert until their test told them that the battery was ¡°bad enough¡±. ?I hope you have better luck.

?I apologize if this has been addressed, but, in the past six months my battery (iPhone 8) literally drains while I'm using it from full charge (100%) down to 1% if I don't keep it on the charger while I use it. I can watch the battery drain while I'm talking. I have to keep it on the charger constantly so I can use it for a few minutes off the charger.
When I looked at the battery health it says 58%.
What can I do on my end to help stop this fast drain besides getting a new battery, which I will at some point. I must be missing something that works in the background to drain the battery so fast.
Thanks!
