The research company pCloud carried out a study that aims to answer a very pertinent question from those who use their smartphone on a daily basis. In question, the applications that consume the most battery in our electronic devices.

This was the premise of a study carried out by this entity in the United States. To do this, 100 of the most popular applications on the market were evaluated to conclude which ones currently require the most energy.

This list allows us to conclude that some of the applications that demand the most energy are also the ones we use most frequently. Especially social networks like Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp.

In fact, if you are struggling to increase the autonomy of your smartphone, the solution could be to delete some of the applications that you use most frequently. An evaluation of benefits that each user will have to do individually.

To evaluate these results, pCloud specialists relied on three pillars: user resources for each app (location or camera), battery usage, and provision of a dark mode.

Weighing these factors, we see that the Fitbit application leads the table built by this entity, followed by the Uber, Skype and Facebook applications. It is important to clarify that the original table contemplates some North American services, without expression in our market and therefore left aside in this article.

Social networks dominate the energy consumption table

We can easily see that the dominant category in this table is social media. These, according to pCloud, are the most power demanding, therefore the ones you should remove from your device first.

Dating apps are also among the most power hungry for your device. This category represents about 15% of the table built by the source, with a series of needs similar to conventional social networks, in addition to not offering a dark mode.

The advice left by pCloud experts is for users to reflect on what applications they really need. Removing some of the ones mentioned here can make a difference in the autonomy of your smartphone and prevent you from spending so much time clinging to the plug.
