Social Apps are the worst battery eaters

Next time you blame your phone for the battery, think of it before you start the blaming game. Yes, your phone's battery eater is none other than the social apps that you have installed in it. AVG has released a report on the apps that eats up your battery, performance and the data. There are a number of familiar faces in the report.

What AVG did was that it  anonymously collected data from its anti-virus and the cleaner apps from the users in US, UK and Australia. It then ranked those apps based on the data collected from the apps installed in the devices. Here are the worst battery eaters and performance drainers based on the analysis that are started by the user.

It is also shocking that Snapchat is eating up a lot of battery when compared to Facebook(due to its simultaneous use of WiFi, GPS and the phone's camera).

However, the worst apps are those which run at start-up(not started by the user).Here is the list of such apps.

It is clear that Facebook consumes a lot of battery in this category of apps, the worst in this category.

AVG has recommended the users to clean their browsing history and cache files regularly. Also, it is advised for the users to spend a limited time on these apps. They must not forget to keep their devices up to date.
