Apple released the final stable build of iOS 15 to the public last week, and users are only just starting to sign up for the newest experience on offer. The new version of iOS is, as you might expect, receiving its fair share of kudos and complaints, some of which have also come from third-party apps. One app that many users have criticized recently is Spotify – for causing users’ iPhones to drain a significant portion of their battery while also heating them up to uncomfortable levels.

In this post, we will discuss the Spotify battery consumption issue on iOS and how to fix it for the time being.

Several users on Reddit and Twitter have reported that the Spotify app on their iPhones is draining their battery absurdly quickly while also making the devices too hot to hold. The issue appears to be present in the latest version of the Spotify app for iOS and is not limited to iPhones running iOS 15. Even users on the latest stable iOS 14.8 are experiencing similar issues with their battery drain and overheating.

For many users, the Spotify app on their iPhones was consuming as much as 30% of their battery, which is a lot for a music streaming app that runs mostly in the background. For a few users, the Spotify app resulted in up to 50% battery usage, causing their phones to die within a few hours.
