3. Battery saver apps



Even though battery saver apps are made to reduce power consumption, they silently operate in the background even if the phone is idle and drain backup. This is because they constantly scan the smartphone for junk files and battery-draining apps.



4. Anti-virus apps



Just like any battery-saver app, Anti-virus apps also runs in the background and scans the entire smartphone for fixing the potential threats on a regular basis. The longer the duration of scanning, the more it drains the battery.



5. Social Media Apps



Facebook, apart from being the most popular app also makes its way into the list of the most battery-draining apps. It runs in the background and sends notifications regularly. Snapchat, Instagram and Skype are some other heavy social-media apps.



6. Internet Browser Apps



It is always wise to stick on to the default browser app as some browser apps include additional features such as news, social media notifications, scoreboards and many more; effectively reducing your phone’s battery life.\
