The numbers for Instagram seem high for the time spent. Make sure you're using the latest version of Instagram. They had 10 updates in just the last month. If you are using the latest version, Meta support recommends deleting the app, restarting your device and downloading a fresh copy of the Instagram from the Apple App Store.


Check back in a few days after your new device finishes all the background tasks including syncing, indexing and optimization. It’s also a best practice to leave you iPhone on a charger, connected to WiFi and locked the next few nights. This can speed up the background tasks. Good luck and enjoy your new iPhone!

It's normal for Meta apps like Instagram and TikTok to be real power hogs.


If you just updated the iPhone, it is going to take a few more days for everything to be indexed. The battery will be working overtime for the next few days.


Try to keep the iPhone connected to the power adapter as much as possible to minimize battery use.

okay, ill make sure, but how fast do they usually optimize the meta apps to be more compatible?

Ask Meta. Only Meta can make their apps more compatible. Apple cannot alter Meta apps.
