macOS 12.2 Brought Bluetooth Bugs Which is Causing MacBook Battery Drain Issue While Apple Watch and iPhones Are Seeing Wallet App Syncing Issues
An increasing number of users are reporting on Reddit and Apple Support Communities forum that their Wallet app has stopped syncing between their iPhone and Apple Watch after updating to the latest iOS 15.3 and watchOS 8.4 version. Users report that they are not seeing coupons or membership cards on their Apple Watch which should be synced from their iPhone. Apple is currently investigating the issue as per a Reddit poster and the time frame of a fix has not been mentioned. Other than this, some MacBook users are also experiencing major battery drain issues after updating to macOS 12.2.
Apple's latest macOS 12.2 update also broke the MacBook with a new Bluetooth issue which is causing the battery to drain much faster than usual. According to the screenshots posted online, the MacBook battery is drained from a full charge to zero while not being used. The new bug is affecting both M1 MacBook models as well as Intel. A user reported "Full battery drainage in two hours, from 100% to 0 with the lid closed! Also, I noticed that the MacBook was really hot while it was in my backpack."
Whoa macOS 12.2 21D49 (the current version) is behaving like Windows! Battery went from full to 0% while on sleep mode overnight. Any fix, @AppleSupport? pic.twitter.com/w1kdJXyU7r
