iOS 11.4 battery drain

My iPhone 6 was working perfectly fine until I updated to iOS 11.4 and ever since I did that my battery is draining rapidly even without me using it at all. I used to go a full day without charging it now it may last half a day. I am just wondering if something got turned on with this new update that I have to turn off to save battery life. It is just weird I have not done anything other than update the iOS and now this happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same issue.

When I look at my battery performance, it shows that the personal hotspot on my phone is being used, though I have never turned it on. I have to keep charging my iPhone every 2-3 hours now.

Haven't tried it yet but I believe you can go in to Itunes where you back your phone up and can ask it to revert to earlier version.

Same issues.

My iPhone 6S is using twice as much energy since i’ve updated to iOS 11.4.

Disabling WiFi and... everything did not helped.

Restore and clean install did not helped either.

I have an X and apps are crashing cameras not operating properly

There is clearly a problem with the software and Apple needs to resolve this

I have similar issue with 5s after upgrading to ios 11.4. I think most of my battery drains when the phone is idle.
