Did you try cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 VPN app? It uses wireguard. I have it enabled all the time and I did not notice significant battery life reduction.



There was a significantly longer delay than expected between Cloudflare announcing the VPN service and it becoming generally available. Cloudflare has attributed much of this delay to overcoming client battery usage issues. Maintaining a balance of acceptable VPN performance and low battery usage is not an easy nut to crack.


Yes, and I noticed similar battery issues. I am using an old iPhone SE, so the battery isn't terrific anyway, but it definitely caused an impact.
