We've all faced that moment when our cell phone starts showing "very low battery" and at the same time we wonder how it's possible for such a "smart" device to betray us at such a critical moment.
One of the most common reasons for this frustrating situation is apps that are draining our battery excessively. In our article, we will look at how to check which ones are consuming the most power and give you some useful tips to give your phone's battery a breather.
Follow us on this journey to discover together the "heavy" applications that eat up our energy.
STEPS
1. Open Settings
- Start by opening your device's Settings. You can find the settings icon on your home screen or in the app drawer.
2. Go to the Battery section
- In Settings, go to the Battery section. On most devices, this option appears directly in the main Settings menu. On some other devices, you may need to first go to Device maintenance or Device care and then select Battery.
3. Check battery consumption
- Once you enter the battery section, you will see a list of apps that are consuming power. Typically, this list shows the battery consumption of each app as a percentage of the total battery usage time.
- View overall usage: You will see an overall report of battery consumption by various applications and system services.
- View details: If you select a specific app, you will see more details about battery usage, such as the app's usage time and background battery consumption.
4. Background usage estimation
- Check which apps are using up power even when you're not actively using them. This can be due to notifications and updates running in the background. If you notice unusually high power consumption from apps you don't use often, you may want to limit their background activity.
5. Using battery saving tools
- In the latest versions of Android, there is usually an option for Battery Saver or App optimization. These features allow you to reduce battery usage by apps that run in the background and are not used frequently.
- Battery Saver Mode: Enabling Battery Saver Mode can limit background activity and reduce notifications as well as background updates to save power.
- Optimization: You can choose to optimize specific applications so that they consume less power in the background.
Tips for reducing battery consumption by apps:
1. Disable background activity for certain apps:
- Go to Settings > Apps, select an app, and disable the ability to run in the background if you don't need it to be constantly active.
2. Disable notifications:
- If you don't need updates from specific apps, turn off their notifications. This option is usually found on each app's settings page or in Settings > Notifications.
3. Clearing the cache:
- Some apps may accumulate a large amount of data in their cache, which can affect performance and power consumption. You can clear the cache from Settings > Apps, selecting the app and tapping Clear cache.
4. Uninstall or disable apps you don't use:
- If you have apps that you don't use, you can uninstall or disable them so that they don't run in the background and consume battery.
Checking battery consumption by apps is easy on Android devices, and you can take immediate action to limit power consumption.
By limiting apps running in the background and enabling battery saving tools, you can significantly extend your battery life.
