Hi everyone,

I have an Apple Watch Series 7, and after installing the 10.1 update I have been experiencing a massive power drain. Whether it’s regular use or playing music or watching videos, my watch has always held a strong battery.

This new update drains a 100% charged device to entering low battery (10%) mode in a matter of a couple hours.

Solution (for now): remove the app Moby Watch Face.

I saw others recommend this a day ago in an Apple Support thread. I just tried it and my device is functioning normally once more. If you are experiencing this and the understandable accompanying frustration, give it a try! Re-install that app or other third-party apps once Apple gets a handle on this. I hope this helps!

    A couple of hours! Mine has been lasting about 45 min lol. Just deleted all the apps. Let’s see if that works.

    Yep, SE2, deleted Moby last night after the battery drained in last than three hours. It seems to be normal again. I also checked my diagnostic logs, and don’t see any mention of bugs like I did earlier.

    Same thing was happening with my series 7 after the update to 10.1 - battery drain from 100% to 10% in a matter of hours. Tried the hard reset mentioned but that didn’t fix the problem. I also have the Moby watch face app but hadn’t seen the suggestion to uninstall it. What I did do was unpair the watch from the iPhone 14 Pro Max and pair it again. Problem fixed and I haven’t deleted any apps including Moby.
