How to Fix Unexpected Shutdowns After Updating to iOS 18.3?

Some iPhone users have reported that their devices unexpectedly shut down after upgrading to iOS 18.3. Before shutting down, the iPhone appears to have sufficient battery, but after restarting, the battery drains rapidly. Users have attempted restarting their devices and other solutions without success.

If you're experiencing the same issue, this guide will walk you through several methods to fix it.

 

1. Enable iPhone Optimized Battery Charging

 

If your iPhone’s Maximum Capacity is below 90%, enabling Optimized Battery Charging can help extend battery life by reducing wear over time. Steps:

1. Go to Settings -> Battery -> Battery Health & Charging. Enable Optimized Battery Charging.

2. Charge your iPhone overnight to allow the feature to adapt to your charging routine. When this feature is active, you’ll see a notification on the Lock Screen displaying when your iPhone will be fully charged. If you need your phone to charge immediately, touch and hold the notification, then tap Charge Now.

2. Tap Reset -> Reset All Settings.

5. Clear iPhone Cache Data

 

Over time, iOS generates cache files that can consume storage and impact performance. Using a third-party tool like iPhone Cleaner can help remove unnecessary data, such as Diagnostic & Usage Data, Downloaded Temp Files, User Storage, iTunes Photo Caches, iTunes Sync-failed Files. Cleaning up these files can free up storage and improve your iPhone’s performance.

Run iPhone Cleaner app -> Deep Scan Mode -> System Cleanup -> Scan -> Remove selected scanned iOS files.
