Press and hold the side button until you see Power Off. Firmly press the Power Off slider, then lift your finger. Tap Erase all content and settings. Wait for the process to finish, then set up your Apple Watch again. When asked, restore from a backup.

Adds a performance management feature to prevent the device from unexpectedly shutting down, including the option to disable this feature if an unexpected shutdown occurs, for iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.

They only difference this time around is you have the option to turn it off in settings. Depending on usage, some people may have already drained their battery down below the 80% capacity by now on last years devices.

FourFourFM wrote: » The same happened to me. I don’t think it dropped by 6% that quick I think it wasn’t reporting accurately up to that point. It was in beta until 12.0 released - which probably explains it.
DubDJ wrote: » Yeah sorry I didn’t check right before and after I installed. But a few weeks before it had been at 98% and a few days after iOS 12 it was showing the lower amount. Not sure if that’s down to software, maybe it wasn’t as accurate before the update. I have been using it very heavily the last few weeks though so that could contribute a little too. Still though, it was holding steady at 98% for months before the update dropped.
