How to Track Battery Usage on the iPhone or iPad
In iOS 9 and higher, there's another feature in the Battery settings screen (Settings > Battery) that you might find useful. The Battery Usage section lists the apps that used the most battery life in the last 24 hours and the last 10 days. With this information, you can pinpoint battery-hogging apps and delete them or use them less, which in turn extends battery life.

To view the timeframe for the report, tap either the Last 24 Hours or Last 10 Days tab. When you do this, you'll see the percent of the total battery used by each app. Apps are sorted from those that used the most battery to those that used the least.

Some apps include basic information beneath them about what caused the usage. You may see a note that reads Background Activity or Low Signal. These notes explain why the app used so much battery power.

To get more detailed information about each app's battery use, tap either the app name or the clock icon in the upper-right corner of the Battery Usage section. When you do this, the text beneath each app changes. For example, a podcast app might indicate that its battery usage was the result of two minutes of the app being used on-screen and 2.2 hours of background activity.
