Why did my battery last two hours less than normal today? What am I doing wrong? It is the question that we have asked ourselves thousands and thousands of times. We see how after a succession of updates the battery drains us absentmindedly. We want to know where such battery consumption comes from, and coincidentally, it comes from many of the most popular applications and that almost all of the owners of iOS devices have installed on our iPhone and iPad, it is incredible to see the difference between consumption of applications of one day to the next, especially of many that we do not use as much as it seems. What are the worst optimized applications and which consume the most battery in our iPhone? We tell you where that huge battery expense comes from.
That's right, in many cases they are applications that the vast majority of us have installed, we never realize that they consume so much battery, among other things, because for us the mobile would lose all meaning without these applications, but that is exactly why that developers don't go to great lengths to optimize applications as to include useless features that most of us don't even use. We start with the list:
What a surprise! Or really not, Facebook is one of the worst-optimized applications for iOS that we can find, in fact lately we are a bit happy because it works almost decently, until recently browsing the application was an ordeal of lag and waiting for the load of pictures. However, this has been fixed, at the cost of the battery. Facebook is undoubtedly the application that consumes the most in relation to the time of use, especially if you have the bad idea of leaving it active in the background, something completely unnecessary and that will literally drain the battery of your device while you have it conveniently stored in your pocket. So if you are a Facebook user for iOS, go ahead, deactivate its use in the background as well as the location and your battery will appreciate it, it does not solve the problem but it alleviates it.
In addition, the Facebook scholars have a peculiar entertainment with loading the application from time to time, in fact a few months ago it was running permanently and wreaking havoc with the battery.
Another social network, however with a totally different look. What you may not know is that Instagram is owned by Facebook, so we could expect an optimization to match. Instagram consumes a huge amount not only of battery, but also of data. Instagram is very given to two things, locating our position and re-loading all the content every time we enter, this causes excessive battery consumption.
We could not miss our favorite friend. The most popular application without a doubt (also owned by Facebook ...) is another one that consumes the most battery. Not because of the fact that when we are using the application we are continuously typing and therefore executing processes with the screen on that end up damaging consumption, but because most of us are given to having a huge number of groups, most of them unnecessary and useless but with a frenzied movement and file sharing. If you add to this that many have background activity activated and automatic file downloads, the result is catastrophic.Goodbye battery, because the groups run and run, the push does not stop arriving, and all this while the mobile is in your pocket.
Google Chrome (and browsers like Dolphin)
Don't you like Safari? Well, your battery does. Google Chrome is tremendously poorly optimized for iOS, although it is true that its performance has increased in recent editions, the energy consumption of the application is regrettable, we find the same problem in Google Chrome for Mac OS X, a consumption to embarrass you of resources and battery that makes it unfeasible in the long term, at least away from home.
YouTube
The second of Google in the ranking, we do not know if they do it on purpose to "harm" the feeling of iOS users, but the reality is that YouTube performs really badly. It barely stores video in buffer, since when we advance the video it reloads almost completely. The loading times are destitute and the performance of the application in general can be improved. Thus, YouTube is an almost indispensable application that is dedicated to draining our battery with every minute of video. If you are receiving a slow WiFi connection, the consumption becomes aberrant.
I want to know why my battery of my iPhone 5 from one day to the next runs out a lot, I can not find the application that consumes the battery and the navigation gb.
