I disconnect Facebook from location services in the privacy settings. I did it for privacy purposes originally, but battery was a bonus. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Flor Lynch" <florl...@iol.ie> To: <viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Wednesday, October 21, 2015 10:00 PM Subject: Re: Stop force closing apps on your iPhone, it's not making it run faster or last longer
There has been recent comment (in newspaper tech columns) that several users have found that Facebook doesn't close properly (as when not in use) in recent versions of the app; that it's also draining the iPhone battery by constantly updating one's location etc information in the background. Facebook says that it's "investigating". -----Original Message----- From: Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Wednesday, October 21, 2015 6:19 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Stop force closing apps on your iPhone, it's not making it run faster or last longer Maybe so and maybe no. I have read articles like this before and while this may be correct theoretically, I think what the author does not consider is that not all apps are created equal. How often have you seen something in the What's New section of an app that menbtions the developer has fixed a memory leak or fixed something which caused excessive use of battery power or they fixed something which caused the app to remain active in the background. I have seen all of these in the last 5 years at some point or another so all it takes is a developer who hasn't done a good job with their code and of course removing the offending app from the app switcher will fix this. Therefore I happily continue to waste 10 or 20 seconds of my valueable time once or twice a day to force quit the apps I don't use. For the amount of time it took the author to write this article and post it, he could have probably closed apps on his phone once a day for years to come especially since I think a sighted person can swipe up and close multiple or even all apps at once.

I admit I do this closing apps things a lot.
