Battery consumption IOS

iOS
1

I asked on Twitter, som time ago, around the battery consumption on IOS.
I was told, you were aware, and was looking into it.

Any news around this ?
I looked at the issues list in GitHub, but did not find anything that said it was solved.

I had a 92% pover usage, from Tailscale, not being used, on my iPad, while it was in standby for 1,5 day.
And I killed my standby time on my iPad completely, so I had to remove the app.

Looking for to it being better, cause I really miss it on my iPad :slight_smile:

The upcoming 1.2.0 release is better, but more remains.

For now you can try the TestFlight builds: see https://tailscale.com/kb/1083/install-beta

Hello from 2023!
I have TS on my iphone 13 mini and TS, iOS 16.2 and TS 1.34.2.

The battery drain is bad and worsening. My phone will be hot at idle, with TS showing 20% of the phone battery drain within 4 hours.

This seems to be new, as my TS use in the last few months had none of these issues.

For now I’ll toggle TS off and on as needed, but it would be nice to leave it on.

Thanks

Hi!

same problem here. It’s not possible to simple leave it turned on since it will drain my iPhone’s battery within a couple of hours… :frowning:
