How to know which applications consume the most battery on my xiaomi mobile

Is the battery of your Xiaomi mobile draining faster than expected? There are several reasons for this frequent problem on the mobile, but if we have to look for a first suspect we would start by taking a look at the applications.

If you are one of those who like to try new applications, surely you will have apps on your mobile that you don't even remember you have installed. And if you add to these "forgotten" apps the popular applications that you use frequently, you will have a large list of suspects that may be consuming your mobile battery.

How can you know which applications are consuming more mobile battery? There are several ways, and we will explain it to you below.

Which apps consume the most battery?

Although everything will depend on how you use the application (time you use it, background settings, permissions enabled, etc.), there are apps that are in the top ten of those that consume the most battery:

• Streaming apps, like Netflix, Spotify, etc.
• Social media apps, such as Twitter, Facebook as well as Instagram and TikTok, which are some of the most battery consuming
• Messaging apps like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger
• Apps that monitor your location or physical activity, since they use GPS

That is, any application that requires you to spend all your time watching multimedia content or interacting will consume more resources and battery of the mobile. And the same happens with those that use the device's sensors to work.

Now that you have an overview of the matter, it is time to see how the apps installed on your mobile behave.

Use mobile functions to find out

A quick way to find out which applications consume the most battery is by taking a look at the statistics that the mobile provides in Battery and Performance.

So open Settings >> Battery and Performance >> Battery usage statistics. You will see that it classifies the processes and elements that consume the most battery in percentage and milliamp hours. In either of the two options, you can see the apps that use the most battery.

This data is taken from your activity on your mobile according to the configuration you have established. Once you detect the applications that are draining the battery, you can apply some changes to reduce their consumption.

To do this, go to Battery and Performance and choose Battery saver in apps. You just have to choose the app you want and select some of the background settings or the Battery saver option to reduce activity without affecting its dynamics.

You can try different energy saving settings so that the battery gives you a little more autonomy without giving up the apps that you want to keep on your mobile.

Use third-party tools to monitor apps

If you want to have more detail on the battery consumption of your mobile applications you can also use other tools. For example, Accu Battery.

This application allows you to evaluate different aspects of the mobile configuration to detect processes or elements that are affecting the autonomy provided by the battery. For example, you will find options to track the consumption of the applications you use frequently.

An extra that this app provides is that it allows you to make automatic changes in the mobile settings to take care of the health of the battery. Another option to consider is Kaspersky Battery Life, which automatically detects apps that consume a lot of battery and alerts the user with a notification. In addition, it has a series of options to save battery by applying certain settings.

So if you don't want to uninstall it from your mobile, you can combine MIUl's functions with third-party applications to keep apps that consume too much battery under control.
