Deleting the Facebook app will increase your battery life on your phone by 20%.
We have some very good news and some pretty bad news. The good news is that you can supposedly increase the battery life on your phone by 20% just by deleting one app.
The bad news is that the app is Facebook!?
Unfortunately, so far this has only been tested on Android phones, so if you’re an iPhone user, this may or may not work for you. However, it’s to be expected that the less time you’re spending on Facebook, the longer your battery will last.
Android Central writer Russell Holly first discovered the news, but it has since been tested by several other tech writers.
Many report that battery life goes up by 20% just from removing the app, and there are lots of anecdotal reports of boosted speeds, too.
The good news is that Facebook Messenger isn’t quite so bad – so if you DO decide to ditch the main app, you can run Messenger, and just stay logged in to Facebook on Chrome.
If you can’t get rid of your Facebook app, it would probably be in your befit to at least turn off your notifications. But then how would you really know how many people are “liking” your new profile picture featuring your favorite cat? I guess there are some things in life worse than a low battery.
