Orange has published an official message quite surprising for millions of Romanians from all over the country, and this is because it brings into discussion something around which there have been many controversies in the past. More precisely, as part of its campaign to convince people to reduce energy consumption, Orange tells Romanians to close the applications they leave open in the background on the phones they use because they consume energy.
Orange comes with a rather interesting message here because it completely contradicts what we have been hearing for years from the companies that produce iOS and Android, i.e. Apple and Google. Both say that we should not close the applications that remain in the background because they are suspended and reactivated the moment we access them again, their reopening being done anyway faster than if we closed the application completely and reopened it.
Orange: The Unexpected Official Message for Millions of Romanians
Orange is somehow right with what it says, and that's because some applications are not completely suspended when they stay in the background, and they automatically retrieve information from the Internet. This of course generates energy consumption, and forces us to charge our phones more often than normal, and Orange says that this is bad for the planet, so we should give up the habit of keeping applications open in the background on phones.
Orange comes with a recommendation about a non-problem for the vast majority of people, who don't even think they've ever thought that charging their phones more or less weekly can affect the planet. The reality is that for the common man a recommendation of this kind is somewhat useless and the impact is only big anyway if extremely many people do this, so it depends on your attitude if you want to contribute to saving the planet or not.
Orange also has a variety of other recommendations to protect the planet, all of which are available directly on its website for those interested to consider them in their daily lives.
