Fold 6 battery draining faster

[dustin1655]

Just updated to the new UI 7 on my fold 6 on tmobile. Lots of changes biggest thing would be it seems the battery is draining a bit faster. What does everyone else think about the update?

I have the s24 and I'm not sure on the battery life yet but the fonts being outlined and the strange notification bar arrangement is incredibly frustrating

Yeah it's going to take a lot of getting use to

Your phone has to relearn your battery usage after every major update. So yes, it'll drain faster than normal for the first week

A full charge now lasts less than a day under typical usage conditions.

My phone last about 9 hrs a day now and I am not a power user.

I did the update on the release date and my battery life has been terrible, anyone with the same experience?

@Soulie I'm not having that issue on my Fold 6. Did you wipe the device cache partition after the update? 

[Soulie]

Thanks for your response, I didn't do that, will try it now.
