GEN 2 Ford Pass on IOS14 battery drain

[smurfslayer]

I upgrade my iPhone x to IOS 14 and noticed almost immediately a HUGE battery drain - as in down to zero within about 10 hours. I’m barely using the phone during the day.

Checked the internet and lots of blogging heads offer that this is normal behavior offer some minor tweak here or there, but I checked and battery settings showed Ford Pass using something like 71% and almost all in the background, so I killed it. Next day, I barely used any battery at all. I fired it up again to send an address to the truck nav. Again, it whacked my iPhone’s battery in about 4 hours.

shut it down, charged up overnight and has been fine all day.

Anyone else or is it just me?

Yep I had the same thing happen to my phone with the app. I deleted it completely and re installed it and haven't had the problem since.

My Ford pass isn’t even Registering on my battery usage.

Same, just went into the app store and the app has an update as of today. Hopefully the bug fix addresses the 14 battery drain. Mine was showing 91% which is bloody insane. I noticed my phone was getting hot too. I have an 11 pro, so likely a lot worse for those of you with older phones. I have noticed that you'll have bugs like this when they do an iOS update.

aha! it’s not just me. I also had the heating element syndrome with the phone while FordPass was active, forgot to mention about the heat.

Hey, at least it’s not a galaxy note or we’d be in the hospital with 3rd degree burns!

Yep, After upgrading to IOS 14 Ford Pass is using 75% off my battery usage and draining my XS Max in just 5 Hours!
Does anyone know when the Ford App will be fixed?

@El Robo did you see the post by @Proflyer saying that there was an app update yesterday? Did you try that?

If you have already installed the new update, did you see this post where @ktownsensation recommended deleting and reinstalling the app?

Turn off the location in settings for the app. Fixed mine. Now only accesses location when I use the app.

I noticed that when I installed the beta back in June. I did a network reset and it fixed it until beta 3 came out then I just had to do another reset. I haven't noticed it again since the gold version came out.

I have noticed that the default car (I have 2 on my ford pass) no longer stays and I need to put in a pin code and confirm almost every time.

I also had the issue with the Ford app. I uninstalled it and all was well, for a few hours.

However, I now see that Waze is doing the same thing!
