There’s An Easy Way To Tell What Apps Are Draining Your iPhone’s Battery

Okay, so this is going to come in very handy.

Don’t get us wrong, iPhones are brilliant but what’s not so great is when your phone hits red before lunchtime.

Facebook is said to be one of the apps that eats battery life and there’s a very simple way to tell what other apps might have the same effect.

Located within the settings menu is an option marked ‘Battery’ and within this are stats and percentages for the apps eating away at your battery.

To be fair, this particular model probably lasted a lot longer…

Once you click on one of the apps, you’ll get to see just how much battery life it used for the last 24 hours and if you want to go into detail, there’s an option to look over the previous six days too.

Facebook might be one of the main culprits but Whatsapp and Twitter aren’t too far behind.

Once you know what’s causing your phone battery to run out, it’s easier to figure out what to avoid when you’re hitting the red zone.
