Q: New Battery Usage Tool

I've upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 9.1 on Thursday and everything seemed fine. This morning, however, my battery was draining really fast - 20% in 30 minutes so I started researching solutions. I'm still working on sorting the drain and have tried turning off and on, closing location services on a number of apps, closing all apps and reopening, I always have my brightness low but nothing has worked. Whilst researching I found there is a new Battery Usage tool and thought great I'll check that out to see what is using the battery and when I go into the battery screen I don't have that function only low power mode and battery percentage. Does anyone know why I don't have that new tool? Is it because I'm on a 4S and they have only given the older phone a few things? Any ideas for finding the Battery Usage tool or for increasing battery life would be really appreciated.

Are these battery use statistics not available to you?

No. I'm entirely missing that. all i have under Battery Usage is "Battery information will be available after using iPhone for a few minutes" and underneath that Time since last full charge with usage and standby stats under that.

give it a couple of hours of use or a day, then check back.

It's two days since I upgraded. I've also been using the phone this morning trying to resolve the battery drain issue and it still doesn't appear.
