More than a decade after the hegemony of smartphones began, technology is already capable of providing enough space on these devices. In this way, more users can enjoy a greater number of applications. Despite this, there are apps that demand more than others and a recent study order them by battery consumption.
A telephone Again these days, the first action we take is to download a good number of applications for our day to day. There are all kinds: from social media until fitness, productivity Y dating.
PCloud, a cloud storage company, makes a list of the apps that consume the most energy, either because they open many processes in the background or for some other technical reason.
The list is surprising by the number of popular tools it displays. Among them stand out Uber, Facebook, WhatsApp, Fitbit, Instagram, Tinder, Snapchat, Skype, YouTube Y Zoom.
For example, it is stated that in the top 20 We can find up to six social networks (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Snapchat and YouTube). Each and every one of them opens up to 11 functions in the background (location, WiFi, microphone, etc.). Of these, only one offers dark mode (IG), which represents only a 30% battery saving.
Others of the most demanding are dating, such as Bumble, Tinder and Grinder. These represent 15% of the top 20 total and none of them has dark way.
The rest of the list is made up of memory-heavy apps, such as transportation or travel apps (Uber, Lyft, and United Airlines). On the other hand, video conferencing applications, such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Skype, stand out for the space they occupy, all around 100 MB.
