    Hello Pollarline,

     

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. 

     

    I see that after installing iOS 9.3.4, your iPhone is losing charge faster than it was before. I understand how challenging it can be to have a battery that isn't holding a consistent charge. I'm happy to help you try and get through this.

     

    First, use About the battery usage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, and check the battery usage and settings on your iPhone, specifically, these sections:

     

    Check battery usage 

    Go to Settings > Battery. 

    To see how long each app has been open and onscreen, and running in the background, tap  . Under each app, you might see these usage types:

    • Background Activity means that your battery is used while apps run in the background.
    • Audio means that apps play audio while running in the background.
    • No Cell Coverage and Low Signal means that your device is searching for a signal or being used with a low signal.
    • Backup & Restore indicates that your device has been backing up to iCloud or restoring from an iCloud backup.
    • Location and Background Location means that your battery was used when tracking your device.

       

    Adjust settings to improve battery life

    While viewing your battery usage, you might get a suggestion like Enable Auto-Brightness or Adjust Display Brightness. This is because iOS determined that changing these settings could improve your battery life. You can also see the usage times since the last full charge.

    Use Low Power Mode

    If you want to extend your battery life, turn on low power mode. This reduces power consumption until you turn it off or charge your iPhone to 80%. When low power mode is on, certain settings and features like mail fetch, Hey Siri, Background App Refresh, and some visual effects are reduced or disabled.

    Learn more about low power mode.

     

    Then, use the following resource to learn how to maximize the battery life and lifespan of your iPhone's battery:

    Best Regards.
