New GC update (4.74) - battery drain

Chris

Hi Guys,

Have you noticed increased battery drain since last update - caused by the daily length of Garmin Connect working in the background?

I have just discovered weird app/iPhone behaviour in those regards:

After update - battery screen:

Before update:

As you can see there is significant increase in working time of GC in the background (10h vs 2h) - which is for me weird as my daily routine with the GC app is exactly the same (depicted by the previous bars). Application run all day long (every day and night). Before update I used to lose 4-5% battery during a night, now it is like 20%

    I don't know that it's specific to this version but I have had multiple times when my iPhone battery would be lower than normal at the end of the day and when I look at why it's always background activity in Garmin Connect. It doesn't happen often so I haven't discovered a pattern but there is something in the app that on occasion creates high battery use. I just try to remember to kill the app after I use it to prevent it from draining the battery.

    Thanks for the comment. I have very similar impressions - I reinstalled Garmin Connect, and restarted my Garmin watch (Venu 3) - issue disappeared
