Everyone has gone through that situation of having charged the cell phone and running out of battery in a few hours, even without having browsed the device . The battery is practically what gives life to the cell phone and it is not always that we are prepared for the unexpected with a charger in hand.

There are a few reasons why your cell phone battery isn’t lasting that long.

How to find out which apps consume the most battery on my mobile?
1. Go to “Adjustments” and scroll to the “Battery” option;
2. Scroll the screen and see which apps have been consuming the most power on your phone. You can choose whether you want to view “Last 24 hours” or “Last 10 days” usage. You can also filter to “Show battery usage” mode, which indicates the percentage of how much the app is consuming, or “Show activity”, which will show the time you are spending on the app;
3. To conserve battery life, you can prevent an app from using the phone’s power when it’s in the background, that is, when it’s not being used but is still working with updates or downloads.
To do this, go to “General” in “Settings”, then “Update in background” and disable the selector key for the apps that should only work when you access them.
