Help Battery Draining on S5 after little use

I started using my phone at around 10 am this morning at full charge it is now 5th and I'm at 60% it's a Samsung galaxy s5 and I heard it's a pretty good battery but since my move from the iPhone 5s the iPhone seems to have a better battery
 
What have you been doing with the phone? What are you allowing to sync and how often? Are you in good signal or weak? All of these things make a difference, and without more information we can't really advise. If it's spent the whole time sitting in your pocket then there's something wrong with your setup, whereas if you've spent a couple of hours gaming or watching movies with the brightness up high then that may well be perfectly normal.

I'd suggest installing GSam Battery Monitor, letting the phone run for a day and then see what is actually using the power. That will help identify what you can do to improve it.
 
Ive just been doing very little social media browsing I've played no games so I don't know what's up? I'll get the app you suggested and go from there! Thanks for the reply.
