Some iPad Pro users have complained over the years that the Magic Keyboard seems to drain battery faster than expected. You can do that in Control Center (swipe down from the top right corner) or Settings > Display & Brightness. Lowering your screen brightness will also help with battery life, but this will come down to personal preference. Navigate to Settings > Display & Brightness > Auto-Lock.

If you notice “Home & Lock Screen” on your battery usage is higher than you’d expect, it’s good to check those settings.Īuto-Lock at 30 seconds will help you preserve the most battery life. Navigate to Settings > Control Center > Customize Controls , then tap the + icon next to Low Power Mode if it’s not already there. And it’s useful to have quick access to Low Power Mode in Control Center. You can turn on Low Power mode under Settings > Battery or ask Sirito do it. This isn’t an everyday-use feature, but it is handy. The feature works by suspending mail fetch, background app refresh, auto-downloads, and more with a single button. Low Power Mode is a quick way to extend battery life. This will give you quick, actionable ways to reduce battery drain. Also, take a look at battery life suggestions (if available) just above battery usage near the top.Look for “Background Activity” under an app to learn if it’s been using energy behind the scenes.Tapping the “Last 10 Days” toggle on the right-hand side gives you a broader look at what’s eating up your power.Head to Settings > Battery to check out the details of your battery usage. “Last 24 Hours” is the default and shows which apps are using the most energy (including Home & Lock Screen and Siri). There is also a roundabout way to see iPad battery health hidden in iPadOS Settings.

My two favorite third-party apps to see iPad battery health and much more are coconutBattery 3 and iMazing 2 (both offer free and paid versions)Ĭheck out our full guide on using these apps:Īlternatively, you could head to an Apple Store or see if Apple Support can run remote diagnostics on your iPad.

However, there are a few ways to check your iPad’s battery health with third-party apps. However, Apple hasn’t brought that to iPadOS – at least yet. And it’s easy to check a MacBook’s battery health and charge cycles in System Settings and System Report. IOS 16 features a “Battery Health & Charging” section in Settings that makes it easy to see iPhone’s current battery capacity (health).

The lower your battery capacity (health), the faster your iPad will drain – so it’s helpful to understand where your iPad is on that as a starting point.

There are many other factors at play, but these six are notable ones.

iPad will run hotter when restoring and use more battery.

Downloading a large photo/video library is particularly draining.

Using a new iPad more than normal checking out new features, cameras, etc.

High screen brightness, long or “never” auto-lock time.

High background app activity or location services activity.
