Fortunately, the batteries of current smartphones can boast of better and better endurance, but this does not mean that we should not watch their consumption. While some apps have only a minimal impact on your phone's battery consumption, other apps are literally energy guzzlers. Which ones are they?

Facebook is still one of the most popular social networks, so it is understandable that the corresponding mobile application is also very popular. Due to the fact that more and more elements in the form of videos, stories or stickers are added to Facebook, the use of Facebook has a negative effect on the battery consumption of your smartphone. The solution may be to use Facebook in a mobile web browser interface.
The popular Instagram is more or less the same as Facebook. Viewing photos itself is not that demanding, but Instagram Reels, InstaStories, auto-start videos and other functions represent a rather significant burden on your smartphone's battery. Fortunately, you can use Instagram in the interface of your web browser just like Facebook.
Skype or Whatsapp
Skype is another big drain on your smartphone battery, for obvious reasons. In this article, it serves us primarily as a representative of almost all communication applications. Video calls, sending files, voice and video transmission - all this requires considerable energy from your smartphone's battery. So if possible, try to prefer a traditional call over a video call.
Bumble
Looking for a match on Bumble or another dating app? Then you should know that browsing profiles, viewing photos, scrolling, communicating and other actions within these applications can also significantly affect your smartphone's battery consumption. So if you're on the go and don't have a charger with you, wait until you get home to start dating.
YouTube, Spotify and more
The days when we used devices other than listening to music to make calls are long gone. Today, we can enjoy virtually any music (including other content) even on the go, thanks to music streaming applications such as Spotify. However, listening to music all the time can significantly affect the speed with which our smartphone battery drains.
