Top Apps That Are Draining Your Battery, Occupying RAM and Eating Up Your Data


Via - Ggeek.ng

It’s a known fact that smartphones get slower with use and this is caused by installed apps. While these apps may be useful and hard to do away with, the negative effects they have on our devices can make one consider removing them. For instance, Facebook is one app almost everyone has but it’s one of the most power-hungry Android apps ever.
AVG, an anti-virus maker, recently released a list of apps you should probably consider uninstalling from your device. It’s a huge list containing most of our favorite apps and games

Top 10 performance draining apps that run at startup

These apps automatically start running the moment you boot your device and as expected, Facebook tops the list here followed by
Google Play Service. Blackberry Messenger and Instagram too make the list. It’s interesting seeing four Facebook apps (Facebook, Messenger, Facebook Pages Manager and Instagram) on this list. Are you willing to do away with these apps to boost your device performance? I doubt that. Here's the full list:
1) Facebook                                                             6) ChatON (Voice & video chat)
2) Google Play Services                                           7) Facebook Pages Manager
3) BBM                                                                    8) The Weather Channel
4) Instagram                                                           9) KakawTalk

Top 10 storage eaters run by user

These apps eat up storage whenever they are run by the user. What this implies is that is your device has a low storage, running multiple of these apps will make your device start to lag or even hang. Here you'll see apps like Amazon shopping, chrome, Spotify, etc Here's the full list: 
1) Spotify Music                                                      6) TripAdviser - Hotels, Flights 
2) Chrome                                                              7) Amazon Shopping Global 
3) Aillis - Filters & Stickers                                     8) SnapChat 
4) LINE: Free Calls & Messages                              9) Clean Master - Boost & AppLock 
5) Amazon Shopping UK                                        10) Photo Editor by Aviary 

This whole list highlights some apps we already suspect but then, you shouldn’t go ahead uninstalling these apps because AVG says they’re bad for your phone. Some of the listed apps are actually system applications which your device depends on to properly function.
It’s also worth mentioning that your phone might be equivalent to nothing but a piece of brick without some of these apps. Who wants to uninstall WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and BBM anyway?
