Some apps don’t play fair. They keep running in the background, syncing data, pinging servers, and draining your battery and mobile internet without you realizing it. Let’s uncover the apps you need to watch out for in 2025.
Facebook remains one of the worst offenders. Even when you’re not scrolling, it’s syncing notifications, refreshing the feed, and tracking your location.
TikTok not only uses your camera and microphone but also consumes a huge amount of background data and battery—even after closing the app.
Instagram constantly checks for new messages, stories, and likes. Plus, auto-playing videos consume tons of mobile data.
Snapchat’s real-time location features, filters, and auto-refreshing stories make it a major drain on battery and data, especially on budget phones.
Chrome is fast, but it’s heavy. With multiple tabs open or background sync on, it becomes one of the top power and memory hogs.
Most so-called cleaner or booster apps promise better performance but run in the background, show ads, and ironically make your phone slower.
Apps that track weather constantly update location and download live weather data, which consumes battery and mobile data hourly.
It’s not always your phone that’s the problem — it’s the apps you trust the most. By knowing which ones are secretly draining your resources, you can take back control, extend your battery life, and save your data bundle.
Don’t just uninstall blindly — check your usage stats, disable what’s not needed, and enjoy smoother performance every day.
