One of the biggest problems for smartphone users is the battery draining quickly. However, a weak battery is not always the culprit. Countless apps, often used for fitness tracking, social media, or dating, consume significant power. According to a list compiled by Swedish online newspaper Nyheder24, Fitbit and Uber are among such battery-draining apps.

According to the report, Fitbit is the most power-intensive, followed by Uber and similar apps. Surprisingly, these apps can drain your battery even when not actively in use.

Top 10 Battery-Consuming Apps:

1. Fitbit
2. Uber
3. Skype
4. Facebook
5. Airbnb
6. Instagram
7. Tinder
8. Bumble
9. Snapchat
10. WhatsApp

How To Manage Battery

To save your battery, you can manually close these apps or optimise their power consumption. This is particularly easy on Android devices:

1. Open Settings on your Android phone.
2. Tap Battery from the menu.
3. Go to Advanced settings and select Optimise battery use.
4. Tap ‘Don’t optimise’ to select the apps you want to disable background activity for.

This will help reduce their power drain. However, remember that disabling background activity may prevent real-time notifications from these apps.
