PHFor users who just recently updated to iOS 11 and are now experiencing poor battery life, sometimes waiting a day or two is all you need to do to stop the battery drain.
The reason to wait is fairly simple; iOS updates perform various system maintenance tasks in the background, including things like indexing of Spotlight, indexing Photos, Photo facial recognition scans, iCloud Library updates (depending on settings), and other background system tasks that occur when the iPhone is not in use.
The best thing to after updating iOS is to leave your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch plugged in when it is not in use for an extended period of time, like while you are sleeping. Do this for a few nights in a row (large capacity devices with significant storage usage take longer), and the system tasks should complete themselves, and battery life should improve on it’s own.
Users can download and install iOS 11.0.1 from the Software Update mechanism found on their iPhone or iPad. Be sure to backup your device before installing the update.
