Please fix the battery drain issue with iPhone and watches. Since the app update my battery is draining soooo much faster. If I force quit the app it’s fine, but Fitbit asks you to keep it running to track. Super frustrating. iPhone 11pro, Charge 5

I also have this problem. Until the app update I would charge my Charge 5 every five days. Now it needs charging every two and a half days.

I've had the Charge 5 for three months and noticed the battery draining within 24 hours.  My previous Charge 2 kept a charge for 5-6 days.  Read thru the forum and tried turning of the GPS tracker ("Phone" option means use your phone, not the Fitbit) and battery went to 96% charge 24 hours later so presumed it was the GPS and, frankly, GPS is way to precise for my purposes anyway.  Of course the battery % has been removed with the latest iOs update but won't go there.  On my iphone the "device battery" is "full" 18 hours later, guess that's what we have now ... seems we have more workarounds these days than solutions...
