I have also had this issue since beta 6. Exact same issues. Reported to Apple via Bug Reporter. Not sure if beta 6 issue or server side issue. I use News a lot.
Got a tip for us?

I'm glad it's not just me. I got neurotic and tried erase all settings, set up as new on my iPad. Tried flipping iCloud News toggle on several devices. Cleared News history, unfavorited/refavorited all sources/topics in News, cleared personalization. Did not work.
The issue could be with Subscriptions in News. Not sure though. Hopefully it's server-side and fixed soon! I use News a lot too!
It's definitely an issue with beta 6. I restored back to 10.2.1 and News is fine. I submitted a bug report on this.
Public Betas don't get an IPSW, but developer betas do. You'd need to get an IPSW, then you can restore through iTunes on a Mac if you have the latest Xcode beta and Xcode CLI Tools installed. Only works on Mac (because you need Xcode).
Most assuredly.... Ever since I left 10.1.1 as best I can recollect.
Some of the betas after 10.2 have been terrible, altho this beta 6 seems slightly improved but maybe uts because I am using Airplane and low power modes more agressively.
Exactly as far as i remember it was all fine till ios 10.1 and than issue started with the 10.1.1 update that also bought incorrect battery percentage and random shutdown issues.
I am totally fed up with issue now and i m unsure whether this is an issue with iphone 6 only or other models as well coz i have seen only iphone 6 users complaining
Sounds like the batteries are starting to lose their capacity. Not unheard of if your phone is around 2 years old. Probably <80% capacity left.
I replaced my battery just last week and it really didn't impact the drain issue.
My wife's 6 with 10.1.1 purchased at same time as my 6 is wonderful !! I have asked her to NOT upgrade past 10.1.1 until we see some resolution to what I and others are experiencing.
That doesn't seem to be the case,i could figure that out on my 3.5 year old iphone 5 running ios 10.1 and it seems to be lasting as long as it should but facing problems with my 2 year old iphone 6 and also battery indicator seems to be incorrect as i am getting a usage of 1 + hours on 1% battery,cannot really understand what actually the issue is and will replacing the battery resolve the issue which most likely seems to be not working for many
If you have a brand new battery, then that's obviously not the problem. My apologies.
Today, something strange happened.. I loved my battery life yesterday, but today from 8am to 12am drain 100-5%.
Device was Only connected to beats solo 3 and streamed some Music via spotify. Never happened before.
Activating power safe Mode and load to 50% solved this.
Battery screen Said 4hours usage. But nothing special in app Details

Could it be the charger? If I recall correctly, plugging in the charger wakes the screen, so if either the USB cable or wall plug is faulty, it may cause the constant waking.
Either that, or a rogue apps is bugging out, and causing notifications to appear and disappear quickly.
Or, in the most unlikely of circumstances, it's a system bug. In this case a cold reboot should solve the issue.
Similar things have been happening to me on beta 6. Phone randomly lights up as if I tapped the screen. Blank lock screen (blurred out everything) until I locked and rewoke the phone. All reported. iPhone 7 here.
+1 here ,tried beta 4 rolled back to 10.2.1 , beta 5 rolled back , beta 6 now rolling back , i checked with a friend and no rogue app was detected , hope the final 10.3 will be a fix . 5-6 hours of usage seems stupid , my dad's 5s lasts sometimes double .
Do you mean to say 10.2.1 is better than 10.3 beta 6 in terms of battery performance, if yes how much is the difference.
