Hello Soonergrl1988,


No.


However, the amount of time you use these apps will affect the battery.

You should check your Battery settings frequently and take actions based on that:


  1. Open Settings
  2. Tap on Battery


Check what apps are affecting, or contributing to, severe battery drainage. You can look over the Last 24 Hours or the Last 10 Days. If an app is draining your battery a lot, consider using it less, deleting the app, or turning off background app refreshes.


You can also use Screen Time to set healthy limits per day to be on a certain app.


I hope this helps!
