A technology expert has targeted two widely-used mobile applications which could be completely sucking your phone's battery dry. It may only seem like a minor issue on the face of things, but when your phone runs flat - it can sometimes feel as though you've lost a limb, especially on long journeys where there's nothing else to do.
Many apps run silently in the background on your iPhone or Android device, and despite closing them in the task manager, they could still continue to drain your device's juice. And it could even happen when your phone is just sitting idle.
Thankfully, if you go to your settings - you can see first hand which apps are using the bulk of your device's power, and tinker with preferences to prevent background refreshing. Unfortunately though, that might not even make a dent when you consider how many apps are doing the same.
