Google Maps    

This app is considered a major “thief” when it comes to stealing battery power from your device. This is because the app needs constant access to your real-time location. This increases battery consumption.    

Facebook    

Facebook is an example of a platform that works in the background in a number of ways. These include providing access to other social networks, updates, and contact synchronization.  

WhatsApp    

This is an application that falls into the category of draining the battery more due to constant use, sending text messages, audio and even video and voice calls. In addition, if media is received and transmitted more frequently, this value increases even more. 

Spotify    

Music streaming is one of the most data intensive apps. Another problem is that the app runs in the background. Always sending notifications about updates.    

Tik Tok 

The social app TikTok is one of the largest video platforms in the world, loved mainly by teenagers. Therefore, due to the high frequency of use, the gallery, speaker, camera and microphone are used a lot, its use reduces the load on the phone.    

How to reduce app battery consumption 

Each app has its own characteristics. Therefore, individual solutions must be sought. Ideally, in Google Maps you can restrict access to locations so that this information is only available while the app is in use. This way, it only uses this power when necessary.    

On Facebook, the solution is simple. Set restrictions on the use of the app in your device's settings. On WhatsApp, users can clear conversations every week and turn off notifications. Also, update the Spotify app, turn off background data usage, and avoid using Bluetooth headphones and speakers.    

One way to reduce TikTok usage is to enable internet usage only when you use it. This also applies to clearing the service cache. You can find this option in your device's settings.
