Galaxy S23 Battery Draining Fast After Update – Any Fixes?

[Lauren-design703]

Hey everyone,

I recently updated my Galaxy S23 to the latest software version (April 2025 security patch), and since then I’ve noticed my battery draining a lot faster than usual even with light usage.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

• Cleared cache partition

• Turned off background app activity for most apps

• Enabled battery saver

• Reduced screen brightness and refresh rate

Despite all that, I’m barely getting 4 5 hours of screen-on time, which is a big drop from before the update.

Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? Any suggestions or fixes that worked for you? I’d really appreciate the help!

Thanks in advance 😊

Same issue. I've taken extraordinary measures far surpassing the lengths I'd go to prior to update (lie if camping. ) Before the the update my battery could have powered all of California .

Same, my battery would last well over 24 hours before the update. I'm going to be lucky if I make it through today with a full charge
