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.

I just watched my battery plummet from 100% to 40% in fifteen minutes of use. Happens even if I put it in Low Power mode.

Has anyone from Apple replied to these complaints?

I certainly hope they are aware of the number of people with the same issues with 11.4

I wish they would let us customers know the plan.

"Calls on other devices" was already off on my 6s. The ONLY way I've found to have normal battery life is to disable WiFi...and I've tested on both 2.4 and 5Ghz networks.
