My iPhone battery life has been significantly reduced since pairing with my new Charge 6. I don't have the Fitbit app continually running in the background as I thought this may be the reason for the battery draining so quickly. Is there another reason why this may be happening and do you have any fixes?
Thank you.

@Street68 -- if you don't have running in the background, you may be having issues with a different app, or maybe your screen time has increased. Have you checked the battery in the iPhone settings to see app usage by percentage? Take a look at both the 24 hour view and the 10 day view. I also have a CH6, and it doesn't seem to be using the phone battery any more than prior Fitbits. I've got background for the Fitbit app set to 'always on' and over the past 24 hours (which includes sleeps when the phone isn't being used), Fitbit accounted for 15% of battery use. Over the past 10 days, the biggest battery drain for me was Podcasts at 17%. Audible, Google Maps, Fitbit, and the NY Times all came in around 2nd, with 6-7% use (which makes sense as I use all those a lot).
