Battery drain since iOS 15.6 is ridiculous

Battery since iOS update

Since updating to iOS 15.6 on Tuesday , the battery on my phone 12 Pro, is running down super fast .

ive turned off all notifications, all background app refresh

, close all apps straight after use, turned off location, even Bluetooth, but it showing my photos app is running in background for hours and hours.

how do I fix this.

as a hiker the phone is now useless as it lasts a max of 2/3 hours with Strava running, all because of the background photos drain on the battery

You seem to be in low power mode, and what’s probably happening is the photos app is waiting for you to turn off low power mode so it can finish updating its database. Turn off low power mode, connect the phone to power for a few hours.
