6s battery life after 9.3 update

[anon(9813839)]

After updating my iphone 6s to ios 9.3 my battery life went so bad as i think it gives me from 100% to 16% 4 hours 44 minutes on screen time ... Before updating it gave me more than this... So any solutions?

I would let it drain down to zero and shut off- then charge to 100%- sometimes this works. Try this first- may need a clean install if it doesn't.

Be sure and check your settings. Updates can get them messed up. Check location services. Turn all off you don't need. Turn brightness down as low as possible.

Had the fast battery drain, but after using the link suggestion, my battery life is back to normal. Give it a go

Mine improved if anything... 6-7 hours SOT with 22 hours standby!

well, 5 hours of usage aren't exactly a great result, but not even so bad.
A lot of factors could affect battery life, like signal strength or miss behaving apps. Did you use the iPhone under the same conditions ?

I posted on the 9.3.1 release thread that my battery life went from excellent (considering it's a smartphone) to completely unacceptable right after the update. I did all the "tricks", and even did the questionably effective "drain-then-charge" method to try and fix it...since I hated the thought of having to do a "restore as new" and have to manually load all my apps and straighten my personal settings again.

I don't know if it was any of that stuff...or simply just giving the folders and such a bit to "settle", but now after 2-3 days, my battery life is pretty much up to snuff again. I still don't think it's as good as before...but it's better than it was right out of the gate.
