A new report - published by the Daily Mail - for a Swiss-based cloud storage company, says that the Fitbit health app is the worst smartphone app to use if the battery is low.

And the cloud storage company, pCloud, analyzed 100 of the most popular apps and based on the features they provide that drain your phone's battery.

The company found that the worst battery-draining apps were Fitbit and Verizon - an app for a US telecom provider - which was at the top of the list with 92 out of 100, followed by Uber and Skype.

And in fifth place was "Facebook" and "Airbnb", with a score of 82 out of 100. And among the top ten, too, were "Instagram", "Snap chat", and WhatsApp, Amazon, and the Tinder app.

"With 93% of smartphone users admitting to using apps every day, our phone batteries are starting to suffer, which leaves us without a phone by the end of the day," B Cloud said in a blog post. Considered the killer of secret phones. "

"B Cloud" analyzed 3 factors, which are the processes that each application uses, such as the location or the camera, the battery these applications use, and whether the dark mode is available.

Dark mode gives users the option to convert the background of their interface from white to black to make it easier on the eyes, and save up to 30% of battery power on the phone.

It turns out that "Fitbit" and "Verizon" allow 14 of the available 16 features to run in the background, including the four most demanding (camera, location, microphone, and Wi-Fi).

Six of the 20 most battery-draining apps were social media platforms, which are "Facebook", "Instagram" and "Snapchat", as well as "YouTube", "WhatsApp" and "LinkedIn".

It turns out that Twitter, one of the social media giants, is noticeably absent from the top 20, where it ranked 25th.

B Cloud also looked at the apps that consume the most memory, based on the average phone memory that contains up to 64 gigabytes of storage, and the operating system that consumes up to about 10 gigabytes.

Fitbit and Facebook were among the top five in this category.

"B-Cloud" said that people who use video applications on their phones, should choose between "Zoom" or "Skype", and not "Microsoft Teams", if they want to save battery power.

"In general, the study clearly indicates that social media applications are still one of the biggest killers of the phone when it comes to battery drain," she explained.
