I have been watching my phone battery over the past few months and Lucid remains one of the primary consumers of my battery. I woke up 2 hours ago, which means the app has just been grinding my battery while I sleep. There has to be something Lucid can do to optimize whatever background tasks they are running. I am debating ditching mobile key entirely and just disabling location polling to see if it helps because the lucid app uses more power in the background then me scrolling for an hour.
Absurd mobile app battery usage

Disable location services. Mobile key will still work. Overall I’ve dealt with this issue a lot too, and have just fully given up on mobile key. The feature worked great on my Tesla. Rivian, and BMW, but lucid just cannot figure it out
Same.

Sad, but true!
You definitely need location on
Mine does this too. Especially if I am, or have been, anywhere near the car. I’ve also taken to force closing it when not using it.
Crossing my fingers with AI tools they’ll get these and other coding issues sorted. Can’t have software defined vehicles and fumble the software.

I think we are experiencing their new jam.

You’ll get a pop up that says you need it, but you don’t. Been running for months now with location services off on my iphone to fix the battery drain with the lucid app and phone key (2025 AT).
