Karachi: Are you frustrated by your smartphone’s battery running out quickly? One of the biggest concerns for smartphone users is battery drainage, and certain apps could be the culprit.

Many Android phone users tend to download popular apps from the Google Play Store, which can significantly affect battery life. According to a report by Android Authority, various factors contribute to how quickly these apps drain your battery.

Some apps require a lot of energy to function, while others consume background data, location services, excessive notifications, and widgets, all of which deplete battery life.

The report lists the most battery-draining apps, with Google Services topping the list. Apps like Google Maps, Chrome, Gmail, Google Play, Google Photos, Google Assistant, YouTube, and Google Home are notorious for draining batteries because they need GPS and other resources. These apps cannot be deleted from Android phones.

Facebook is another app high on the list. As one of the world’s most popular social media platforms, it has various features like feeds, stories, reels, marketplace, events, and groups, all of which require constant activity in the background. Access to your location and camera, two major battery-draining elements, further accelerates the battery drain. Additionally, prolonged use of Facebook can impact battery life through factors like RAM memory usage, processing power, and screen brightness.
