Many users of Android gadgets complain of a fast battery drain. There are a number of programs that “plant” a battery faster than a day when fully charged. What are these applications and what is the catch ?!
Main programs
Utilities that are self-updating, have a permanent connection to the Internet and work on the basis of maps and geolocation quickly drain the smartphone’s battery.
These include Instagram, WhatsApp, Google Maps, Messenger. Such programs not only consume a lot of energy, but also slow down the phone.
They also "plant" the battery of the application, with the built-in mechanism of "user metrics". These are search programs, utility stores, travel, purchase airline tickets and taxis. For example: Flights, Aviasales, AliExpress, Weather, Google, etc.

Clicker scam
There are a couple of dozen programs that scammers use to cheat advertising clicks. They can be downloaded from the Google Play Store, unaware of hidden "abilities." Such utilities drain the battery very quickly, even when the phone is in standby mode.
These include Sparkle Flashlight, Snake Attack, Space Rocket, Box Stack, Color Tiles, and many more.
Be sure to check your smartphone for suspicious activity through the settings and programs for checking the battery discharge (Nova Battery Tester, Super Battery, Accu Battery and others).
How to reduce battery consumption
To keep the phone's battery charge as long as possible, you should follow simple rules:
- Enable auto brightness function;
- Turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when the smartphone is in standby mode;
- Periodically check the device for viruses and remove them in a timely manner.
It is not recommended to download applications from suspicious, third-party sites. Always use official sources. This will help to avoid downloading malware.
Do not charge the battery 100%. As research by scientists has shown, the life of a battery that is charged by 80% is doubled.
The AccuBattery app allows you to get information about battery wear and set the maximum charge level.
If the tips did not help and the battery continues to drain quickly, you should consider replacing the battery.
