As pCloud points out, most battery draining Android smartphone apps are social networks. We find in particular Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat or Linkedin. There are also several instant messaging apps, including WhatsApp, Telegram or Skype.
“On average, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Youtube, WhatsApp and Linkedin allow 11 more resources to run in the background, such as photos, Wi-Fi, locations and microphone. All of this requires more power to operate and ultimately consumes more of your phone and battery ”, pCloud details.
