According to pCloud’s analysis, Fitbit tops the charts as the app that consumes the most battery power — or, at least, that has the potential to. Of the 16 background processes and permissions pCloud tracked, Fitbit was able to run 14 of them in the background on a phone — and, the report notes, four of those processes also happen to have the biggest effect on battery drain. If you use Fitbit regularly, it would be a good idea to make sure your phone is fully charged before heading out for your workout so you have plenty of power to spare.
The same is true for at least some pre-installed apps, which are also known as bloatware. Most phone manufacturers or carriers pack their devices with these apps, and they may be battery zappers. A good example is the Verizon app, which landed in second place in pCloud’s ranking. Results showed that Verizon uses just as many power-demanding background processes as the Fitbit app, including location services. If you are a Verizon customer and your phone’s battery is dwindling faster than you’d like, consider managing your account or contacting customer service via a desktop web browser rather than through the carrier’s mobile app.
