Step by step

1. 

   Pick what you need help with

   Google says to open Settings, Battery, Battery diagnostics. It asks What do you need help with? The choices are Battery draining too quickly, Phone is very warm, Issue with charging and Other issue.

   Done

2. 

   Battery draining too quickly

   Tap Battery draining too quickly. Ours said Battery health is normal.

   Done

3. 

   Check the settings result

   Below, under Settings that impact battery life, ours said All settings are optimised.

   Done

4. 

   Issue with charging

   Go back and tap Issue with charging. It looks at the results from the last 7 days. Ours said No issues with charging found.

   Done

If you do not see this option

• Asked for Bluetooth permission? The first page says Bluetooth permission is needed to make contextual recommendations for a battery draining issue. We didn't grant it, and the check still ran.

  

• Which Pixels have it? Google says Battery diagnostics is on the Pixel 6 and later, including the Pixel Fold. Source: Fix issues with your Pixel phone battery

If this does not work

• Battery health is normal but it still drains? Then an app or a setting is more likely. See Pixel battery draining fast: what to check.
• Battery icon shows a question mark? Google says to take the phone to an authorised repair centre or get more support. Source: Fix issues with your Pixel phone battery
• Results still look wrong? Restart the phone and run it again: how to turn off or restart a Google Pixel. Contact support is at the bottom of each result.

About this guide

Battery diagnostics is a quick check built into the Pixel. It tells you if the battery or a setting is the problem before you blame the phone.

The screenshots are from our Google Pixel 10a with Android 17 (build CP3A.261005.005), in Dark mode. We opened two of the checks and read the results. We didn't grant the Bluetooth permission or change anything.

Good to know

To slow down battery wear, see how to limit charging to 80% on a Google Pixel.

In short: Settings, Battery, Battery diagnostics: pick a problem and read the result.
