This research is based on anonymized data from millions of users worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>According to the research, for apps that launch on startup and keep running in the background, Samsung\u2019s Beaming Service and Knox (Security Policy Updates) are the two biggest battery drainers. They are followed by Facebook and Waze.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the top ten battery guzzlers (according to AVG):<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><em>Beaming Service<\/em> for Samsung, Mobeam Inc.<\/li>\n<li><em>Security Policy Updates<\/em>, Samsung Software Update<\/li>\n<li><em>Facebook<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Waze Social GPS Maps &amp; Traffic<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Vault-Hide SMS Pics &amp; Videos<\/em>, NQ mobile Security (NYSE, NQ)<\/li>\n<li><em>Path<\/em> (Path Inc \u2013 Pinterest)<\/li>\n<li><em> Candy Camera \u2013 Selfie Selfies<\/em>, JP Borthers Inc.<\/li>\n<li><em>MagicApp Free Calls<\/em>, magiclack VocalTec Ltd<\/li>\n<li><em>Al-Moazin Lite<\/em> (Prayer Times, Parfield)<\/li>\n<li><em>WhatsApp Messenger<\/em> (Whatsapp Inc).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Games continue to dominate the situation, and the top three battery draining gaming apps are King\u2019s Candy Crush Soda Saga, Candy Crush Saga, and Pet Rescue Saga. Supercell\u2019s Clash of Clans comes in fourth, while King\u2019s farm Heroes Saga follows in fifth place.<\/p>\n<p>AVG recommends that users go to App Settings and disable notifications for apps that don\u2019t require these notifications. For other apps, like Facebook, there\u2019s also the option to turn off Facebook chat and use the Messenger app, as well as lengthening the refresh interval for automatic downloads. Another option is switching off GPS location services.<\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ad<span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">See also:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/apple\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iGotOffer Encyclopedia<\/a>: all information about Apple products, electronic devices, operating systems and apps.<\/li>\n<li>Best place to <a href=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sell your used Apple gadget<\/a> online.
