With each new release, smartphone brands promise more resistant batteries for their models. The rate of consumption, however, depends not only on the quality of the battery, but also on the apps you use the most. The good news is that technology will continue to advance on this point. The bad news is that the "battery-eating" apps are some of the ones we use the most.
The 15 most battery-consuming apps
The most recent research on the battery consumption of apps was conducted in 2020 by Uswitch. The company works by comparing online and phone services and products. According to the data analyzed, the 15 apps that consume the most battery of a smartphone are:
- Messenger
- Amazon Alexa
- Gmail
- Uber
- Waze
- Google Chrome
- YouTube Music
- Telegram
- TikTok
- Amazon Shopping
The full Uswitch study included 50 apps. Other popular apps on the list include Microsoft Outlook, Spotify, PayPal, Amazon Prime Video and Uber Eats. It's worth remembering that streaming platform apps in general are also big battery consumers.
How to find out which apps use the most battery on YOUR phone
Although the list of apps that consume the most battery already gives you a good idea of which ones are "eating up" your phone's power, you can also check information about this specifically from your device.
To do this, just go to Settings > Device maintenance > Battery.
How to reduce battery consumption even with these applications
The answer is obvious, but it is also an action forgotten by many: close the apps when you are done using them.
This action is often overlooked because it is not enough to exit the app to close it. It is enough to exit it and go to your home screen or to another app to keep that first app running in the background.
In addition to closing apps, users can opt for the battery saver feature when they are not using the smartphone.
