Having Find My enabled is halving my phones battery life.
Also despite having it disable, my phone keeps reminding that my AirPods max are travelling with me and someone may be using the to spy on me…?
- txr 4y agoI also stopped using my AirTag because of this. The battery drain is just to big. Even with the latest Firmware the problem is still there. The is a still ongoing discussion and no fix from Apple. Sadly the only real solution is disabling Bluetooth or removing the AirTag https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/unusual-find-my-backgro https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/unusual-find-my-backgro...
- wfme 4y agoWould love to know more about your battery being halved with FindMy turned on. Have never experienced this nor has anyone I know with it turned on. Although to be fair I don't think I've ever disabled it, so hypothetically my normal battery could be half its potential if your claim is true.
- londons_explore 4y agoI think it depends if you're in a big rich city with thousands of airtags within range all the time. That drains the battery...
- wfme 4y agoHmm I'd imagine Sydney fits the bill for "big rich city"
- txr 4y agoThe assumption from the forum discussions is that it has nothing to do with other AirTags as the battery goes back to normal when people remove their AirTag. I had the tag on my bike which is the basement so 3 floors down. It just barely reached it from my bedroom, still very impressive. The assumption is that it has something to to with the tracking prevention where the iPhone is somehow telling the AirTag that it is still in the vicinity. If the AirTags is at the edge of the receiving/sending radius this might need a lot more power. Maybe due to retransmission, etc and therefor for causes my battery drain over night.
