I have an iPhone 8 and it is less than a year old. My battery Health is at 93% and the Battery doesn't even last all day and I hardly ever use it. Apple News seems is the app that is listed that is draining the battery. Is anyone else having battery life issues with the iPhone 8? Could my issues have been caused by iOS14? I just wanted to see what everyones thoughts are before I backup my phone and restore it to try and fix the poor battery life.

Thank You -

Maybe for others to be able to compare better, could you share your average screen time and how much you’re spending to work inside of Apple News?
Has the app been listed as a big battery consumer previously?

Here is a screen shot of my battery usage - it's my work phone and I hardly use it other then email and text. It was Apple News Yesterday that was showing the most activity when the phone was nearly dead. I don't really use Apple New on this phone and as you can see I don't use it much at all.
