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!

    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.
