One of the biggest frustrations for smartphone users is running out of battery too quickly. While there are countless apps available, some drain more power than others.
If you want your phone to last all day, you should pay extra attention to these ten power-hungry apps:
Fitbit
Uber
Skype
Facebook
Airbnb
Instagram
Tinder
Bumble
Snapchat
WhatsApp
According to Nyheder24, these apps are listed in order of their battery usage, with Fitbit being the most power-intensive, followed by Uber, and so on.
Whether they're used for fitness tracking, social media, or dating, these apps can eat away at your phone's battery — even when you're not actively using them.
Social Media and Dating Apps
As seen in the list, social media apps like Facebook, Snapchat, and WhatsApp are among the top culprits.
These apps are resource-heavy when open, but they also consume battery when running in the background, continuously syncing data, fetching notifications, and updating statuses.
This "invisible" power drain can significantly affect your phone's battery life.
Dating apps like Tinder and Bumble are just as taxing on your battery. They run in the background, using GPS to update locations and send notifications, even when you're not actively swiping.
How to Manage Battery Usage
To save your battery, you can either manually close these apps or optimize their power consumption, especially on Android devices. Here's how to do it:
Open Settings on your Android phone.
Tap into Battery from the menu.
Select Optimize Battery Usage under Advanced Settings.
Choose the apps you'd like to disable background activity for by tapping Don't Optimize.
This will help reduce their power drain, but keep in mind that you may no longer receive real-time notifications from these apps if you disable background activity.
