Smartphones have now become an inseparable part of our lives. We can now accomplish many tasks with a single device that previously required multiple devices. However, this convenience brings some problems along with it. Battery life is at the top of these issues.
The charge that used to last for hours when we first bought our phones can barely get through the day after a few months. The biggest reason for this is the applications we install over time.
Which applications drain the most battery?
Research reveals that Google software tops the list of applications that drain the most battery. The company, once known for providing light and simple applications, has turned its software into battery monsters with new features added over time.
In this context, Google Maps, Chrome, Gmail, Google Pay, Google Photos, Google Assistant, YouTube, and Google Home are particularly known for high battery consumption. On the other hand, applications like Google Maps that require GPS usage by nature also cause rapid battery depletion.
The list is not limited to Google applications. Here are the applications that drain the most battery:
- Google applications
- Facebook Messenger
- YouTube
- Skype
- Dating applications like Tinder
- Amazon applications
- Uber
- Mobile games, especially Call of Duty: Mobile
Of course, an application consuming more battery does not mean we should immediately delete it. After all, applications like Google, Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram are among the heavyweight players in the technology world and will continue to be used. The real focus here is for users to be informed about the battery consumption of such software.
