iOS 15 makes phone battery drain fast.

I installed iOS 15 on my phone yesterday and my phone's battery has been draining fast since then. It's been over 24 hours and it hasn't gone away. It drains faster on Safari and Snapchat. I use an iPhone 6s which supports iOS 15. I can't remember if i plugged my phone in or not for the update, would not charging it during the update be an issue? Please help.

My 6S runs iOS15 with no drain problems. If Safari and Snapchat use more power do you have any third party VPN or security apps installed? Does Snapchat or your phone generally have any link to iCloud Photos? Photos will always use more power to re-curate images to the new standards for a few days, and iCloud Photos will use even more. .
