Battery life on Android phones is one of the most common complaints from users. The constant need to charge can reduce productivity throughout the day. But did you know that a seemingly innocent app that comes with your phone might be behind this problem? Yes, the “Digital Wellbeing” app offered by Google may be secretly draining your phone’s battery by constantly running in the background.

While this app offers useful features such as tracking your phone usage habits and reporting how much time you spend on each app, it constantly uses system resources to perform this tracking. This directly negatively affects battery performance. But don’t worry, you can significantly improve your phone’s battery life by disabling this feature.

How to Turn Off Digital Wellbeing Features?

You don’t need to completely uninstall the app to turn off this feature. You can stop battery drain by simply removing the app’s data collection permission in a few simple steps. Here’s what you need to do step by step:

• Open the Settings menu.
• Type “Digital Wellbeing & Parental Controls” in the search bar and enter the relevant menu.
• Tap the three dots in the upper right corner and select “Manage usage data” from the menu that appears.
• On the screen that opens, find the “Usage access” setting and turn it off.

After completing this process, the Digital Wellbeing app will no longer be able to monitor your phone usage in the background, which will directly and positively impact your battery life. With this simple setting change, you can enjoy using your phone for longer periods throughout the day.
