10 ways you’re shortening the life of your phone

The apps that drain your battery the most are Snapchat, Google Maps, Netflix, Amazon, and Facebook, according to AdWeek. The Guardian found that uninstalling the Facebook mobile app from Android phones saves people up to 20 per cent of their battery life. If you also get rid of the FB Messenger app, other app load times could speed up by 15 per cent, per The Guardian. The reason Facebook particularly kills battery life is because it keeps running in the background ­– even when you’re not using it, Business Insider reports.
