Battery drain and app freezes after iOS 26 update on iPhone

since I updated to iOS 26 the battery doesn't last at all. It's a new phone and before the update the battery lasted all day, plus the maps app freezes sometimes and other problems.

Did you already force restart your iPhone?

If this does not help, set it back to factory settings, which will download and install a new version of iOS 26.

Don't use the latest backup at first, to make sure, the issues are not caused by defective data.


If the battery life s back to normal, restore from the latest backup to get your data and settings back.
