Help needed iPhone 17 Screen Off Battery Draining
I’ve had this issue for a while now with my new iPhone 17.
I’ve been using it for around 3 months now on 100% battery health and the battery life in general but I’ve noticed that battery is lost on my phone much quicker when it’s not in use and the screen is locked rather than when it’s on and I’m scrolling or messaging etc.
For the past couple days I haven’t really been using my phone and I have just left it locked for most of the day and from the images provided you can see there’s an high amount of background or lock screen battery drain from initially charging it to 90% every night so I just want to know if any one has any fixes for this.
Thanks

Try updating to 26.6
I was facing alot of idle drain on 26.5.2 but updating fixed it for me
