Since updating to 18.3 I’ve noticed the Home & Lock Screen is consistently highest on better usage list.
Is anyone else noticing this? Is it a setting issue? A iOS bug?
No widgets on my home screen, background refresh - off, Always on screen - off.
iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18
Stoic and Spotify using a total of 30+ hours of background. Apps are updated by pulling data from servers and servers pushing data to your iPhone. Spotify and Stoic are pushing data to your iPhone and your Home & Lock Screen is being utilized. Many times when notifications come in the Screen will illuminate so you can read the notifications.
Do you use any Focus modes to restrict the background usage of those apps? If not you might want to.
Stoic also has an AI component I notice. AI can consume a lot of battery and that may be a lot of the background activity.
What does the last 24 hours look like for the apps? A lot of the Home and Lock Screen could be at the start of the 10 days and have settled down the last few days.
I assumed this.
I’ll report back after the weekend to see if things change.
thanks for your help with this.
You’re welcome and I hope you have a great weekend!
Did you manage to find out anything further on this?
