How to stop YouTube from draining your iPhone battery
Table of contents:
Do you have an iPhone with iOS 11 and have you noticed lately that your battery drains faster? As we recently informed you, YouTube could be the cause of all this. The application was causing a drain on autonomy, which has led Google to publish an update to solve this problem. The new version of the YouTube app addresses all the battery problems that iPhone users have been experiencing in recent weeks.
YouTube version 12.45 for iOS does not include anything other than the fix for the issue with battery usage This is tangible proof that Google has been well aware of user complaints. The company has worked hard to apply the patch as quickly as possible. In this way, we recommend that you download the new version as quickly as possible, in case you do not have automatic update for the applications.
Update to the latest version of YouTube
In early November, many users complained on Reddit and other forums about battery problems on iOS when using YouTube. It did not matter if the application was active or in the background, the autonomy of the device plummeted.To be exact, the battery went from full to empty in just three and a half hours That's a far cry from 13 hours of video playback that advertise from Apple. Although the solution has come in the form of an update, Google has not provided an explanation as to why this has been happening. According to some experts, it could be a problem with the codecs.
As we said, the 12.45 YouTube for iOS update fixes this annoying problem. It is therefore assumed that once it is installed, users will no longer have to worry whether the service consumes the autonomy of their iPhones or iPads. If you now go to the App Store and look, you will see that the following message is displayed: "We have fixed what was broken and, incidentally, we have corrected some errors."
More work for Google
However, Google apparently still has a lot of work to do in the Apple ecosystem. Especially since its apps are still not optimized for the new iPhone X. Gmail, for example, which is currently one of the best email apps on both Android and iOS, does not come with full support for this model. So instead of making the most of its new user interface, it shows black bars at the top and bottom. This has caused many users to switch to third-party email apps or stick with the default mail app, even for Gmail accounts.
At the moment, we don't know what opinions users will have about this new update. It is supposed to fix the battery problem in iOS of final form.However, we will have to keep an eye on the forums to see if Google has really put an end to this failure. You already know that all you have to do is go to the App Store and download the new version of YouTube, 12.45. If the problem has happened to you, do not hesitate to leave us your impressions in the comments section. Has it been solved by updating?
