By Chris Smith, BGR, SouthFloridaReporter.com, Dec. 13, 2015 – Whether you’re a seasoned Android user or you’ve just purchased your first smartphone, it’s very likely you have quite a few apps installed on your device including popular messaging apps, games, entertainment and shopping apps. But no matter how popular some of these apps might be, many of them are huge drains on your battery, storage and/or data. AVG has put together a few handy lists of the biggest culprits when it comes to draining your resources.
AVG looked at anonymous data from more than one million AVG Android app users to put together its top 10 lists – and there are quite a few of them, as seen in the infographic below.
Dating apps appear to be heating up ahead of the holidays, AVG says, but social networking and chat apps are still major battery drainers. Amazon Shopping and Walmart can also consume plenty of battery life. Netflix and Spotify are also found in AVG’s lists, though entertainment apps are expected to kill battery life, especially when heavy streaming is involved.
Here are AVG’s top Android apps that you should avoid if you want to improve battery life, storage and data consumption issues – however, that’s easier said than done, since some of them are quite popular.
