Do social media apps drain your battery faster?

1 New Member
When I run my Facebook app on my blackberry, the battery tends to die much sooner. Is this common? Are there any solutions/tips anyone has to offer?

They do, because they are constantly polling their servers to keep you updated with notifications. At the same time most are designed to minimally interfere with your use. If you have a lo of them(facebook, linkedin, twitter, instagram, etc), especially with their GPS features on, then you might have a battery problem.

Yes it does, especially when the apps start automatically when the handset is powered on or don’t go to sleep when the user stop using them. Also multitasking takes a lot of energy – the more apps that are in use at any one time, the more battery consumed.
