After receiving the last security update the battery drain is crazy. The phone overheats for no reason or usage, and the battery drains 20% in just 5 minutes without using it. I hope Samsung fix this problem fast!!!

Hello, RayRay87! We hear your frustration, and we want to help get your device running smoothly again. Dramatic battery drain after an update is definitely not the experience we want you to have. I can say, in some cases, this happens because of Background Optimizations. After a major update, your phone runs heavy background processes to optimize apps.
With that in mind, we still want to do everything we can to resolve this matter. Take a look at these quick troubleshooting steps that may help with this matter. Please let us know if you still need assistance after trying these steps.

Set backup frequency to "Only when I tap" instead of daily.
Force stop WhatsApp from Settings, Apps.
Give it an hour and check if the phone cools down.
