iPhone iOS 13 on iphone 6s

My backup 6s runs iOS 13 pretty darn well, and it appears I am getting an extra hour or so using it as my “iPod Touch.”
I suspect its an app causing it that doesnt like iOS13 much like i had with The Weather Channel app, since deleting that i've been pretty fine to be honest.
I got lucky to an extent, i'd noticed that it was continually using location services but closing all apps and rebooting wasnt sorting it. I did check location services as well but there were a few showing as having used it recently. Then whilst i was using the phone it popped up a box saying The Weather Channel was doing something with location services and did i want to change it. I knew i'd not opened it other than just after i'd installed it a few days prior so i changed them to only whilst in the app but then deleted it and i've been fine since.
Unless you get a bit lucky like that its going to be a process of elimination to try and figure out whats causing it. Try checking things like the location services for apps with the purple arrow next to them which are apps thats used location recently and the battery screen to see if it gives any clue as to what has used a lot of battery recently.
Weather Channel has been mentioned here in the past. So might not just be an iOS 13 thing.
