WhatsApp it's by far the most popular messaging platform in the world, with over 2 billion active users all over the planet, but that doesn't mean it's 100% good. According to a test carried out by the British, it seems that WhatsApp is one of the applications that you should give up, and that you should delete from your phone, and this is because it consumes a lot of battery power, being in 4th place in - a top consisting of 10 applications.
WhatsApp it is surpassed in battery energy consumption only by the Google application, the Facebook one, and the Facebook Messenger application, two of the others that consume more battery being also made by the company that owns it. The impact that WhatsApp has on the battery compared to the other Facebook applications placed before it is not much smaller, the difference between them being quite small, so they all consume too much battery.
WhatsApp: THE PROBLEM THAT WOULD CONVINCE YOU TO GIVE UP THE APPLICATION
WhatsApp it consumes a lot of battery due to the constant use of the Internet, possibly also the localization it does, as it also happens with Facebook, or Facebook Messenger, when permission is granted. WhatsApp also makes backups in the background, which it sends to iCloud or Google Drive, and if it is left in the background, it sends data from time to time to the company's servers, which of course consumes more battery power.
WhatsApp it consumes the most battery when it is actively used for conversations, and this is quite normal because it needs the internet, keeps the screen on, so it is expected to consume this. When it's closed in the background, it consumes unnecessarily, just like any Facebook application, all of which are designed to collect data even when they're not in use, and WhatsApp doesn't make a distinction because it's designed to collect as much information as possible.
WhatsApp has many alternatives available for phones, the European Commission choosing to recommend Signal instead, but you also have Telegram, Viber, and other applications that do not belong to Facebook.
