3 Apps Every iPhone User Should Uninstall Because They’re Draining Your Battery—And You Probably Don’t Even Use Them

Have you ever wondered whether you’d miss most of the apps on your phone if you simply deleted them? This question may pop into your head as you continue to battle with a device that’s constantly losing battery power, after only a few hours, and if you suspect having a billion apps downloaded on your phone may be contributing to this dilemma. 

There are a number of reasons why your phone may not retain battery power as long as it should, including some of the settings you have enabled (like brightness and background app refresh), but you’re not wrong: some apps are simply worse than others when it comes to depleting your battery. 

Here’s the solution: get rid of them — not all of them, of course, but any and all apps that you probably wouldn’t even miss. Wondering where to start? These three apps can be uninstalled because they’re draining your battery and you probably won’t miss them once they’re gone

As you already know, the iPhone comes with a weather app already installed. It’s a basic weather app — it’s great for finding out the temperature, the forecast for an upcoming week, air quality, UV index, and a few other basics. Is it the most sophisticated weather app? No. Are there weather apps out there that have more robust features? Sure. But, remember: weather apps rely on knowing your location, and this capability takes up battery power. The fewer weather apps you have on your phone, the better for your battery.
