Re: [apple-iphone] iPhone Battery

All I did was follow the direction to move to iCloud. My ipad is unaffected. However we have gone in and turned off the location services and changed fetch to manual. I can adjust that when needed.
Thanks for the System Services tip. I went in and did that.
Thanks for your help.
We will see how things go now.
