High background usage on iOS 26
Ever since I got my new iPhone 17 I'm seeing daily hours and hours of background activity from 1password, and it seems more people are suffering from the same issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/1Passwor...
Hello folks,
I wanted to share an update on the current status of the issue. After investigating the problem, and thank you to everyone who provided screenshots and diagnostics reports, our developers have implemented improvements to the idle timer process for the iOS AutoFill extension. We expect these changes will help reduce the battery usage some people have been experiencing, but further investigation will be needed after the improvements are fully rolled out to determine whether any additional work is required.
These improvements are currently being tested in the beta version of 1Password for iOS. I will update this thread once they are included in a future production release.
I am sorry again for the inconvenience, and I truly appreciate your continued patience and understanding.

Same issue here on iPhone 17 Pro Max running the latest stable versions of iOS 26.1 (23B85) and the 1Password app (8.11.16).
1Password is by far the app that consumes the most battery on my phone. Today it has consumed 11% of my battery, with only 2 minutes of actual on-screen usage and 11 minutes in the background. 11% for an app that I use just a couple of times a day is NOT okay. That is a HUGE portion of the battery.
I see a lot of users have reported this issue fo several weeks already… If not fixed soon, I may have to cancel my subscription and look for another provider… 😅

I'm sorry that 1Password is using more battery than expected. The issue still open with our development team. If you update to version 8.11.18 do you still see the same issue?
