I turned off my background app refresh a while back to save battery life, but recently I downloaded a new app that is making my battery drain like crazy! Background app refresh is still off, but my usage settings say that the app is using 60% of my battery on "background activity". What can I do to save my battery without deleting the app?
iPhone 5, iOS 8.3, battery life
If you do not use your iPhone for fitness tracking you can disable motion tracking, do this by going into settings > Privacy > Motion & Fitness. Tap the switch under Fitness Tracking to off. This can save ALOT of battery, You can also dissable animations
do this by going to settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion and flip the switch on.
Also simply double tapping home and shutting off apps may help,
Hope I helped 🙂
Look through all of the Settings for that app to find out what might be causing the battery usage. If you can't solve the problem that way try deleting the app and reinstalling it. If you still have a problem with battery drain by that app contact the app developer.
