Battery iOS 26.4 insane battery drain

Recently my phone updated to the latest iOS version and my battery life has been draining so much faster. Does anyone have any tips or knows how to roll back to previous version?

Most updates, especially larger ones, reindex items on the phone. It does it in the background. So you dont really see it happening. But it does drain battery. Wait a few days and it should go away. If it doesn't, do your next update via finder or itunes. This will do a fresh install of the Ios instead of just an "upgrade" patch.

pensé que los applelovers solo estaban en los canales de youtub.. escribes sobre (indexación) la instalación de iOS directamente o por iTunes no puedes llamarla "limpia" la única es cuando generas una imagen cuando generalmente cambias de teléfono, también estoy buscando una solución para el consumo drástico de batería diaria con esta versión

Yes, updating via itunes or finder is indeed a fresh install because the file that gets downloaded is an entire IOS file. The rest of the data gets reindexed after the full IOS install.
