Connect draining iOS battery

Are you force closing (swiping out of) the app or is it open most of or all day? How frequently are you syncing your watch with the app?

I got out of the app by swiping to Home Screen but I do not go to open apps and close it manually. The watch is syncing whenever I open the app? A few times a day, I guess 4 or 5

I have the same issue and what's worse, the app is running in the background despite turning background refresh completely off.

Connect has been draining my batter since updating to ios26 and it keeps running in the background despite disabling background app refresh. The first photo shows its regular behavior (draining half of my battery overnight), while the second photo is after doing the steps recommended in this post earlier (i.e. uninstalling and re-installing the app): RE: Garmin Connect draining my iPhone battery

It's very frustrating, please address this issue as my phone went from old but great to barely usable. 

No Problem : 

I’m having the exact same issue. I tried closing the apps, uninstalling and reinstalling them, and even resetting my Bluetooth, but nothing has changed.
