Do you know which apps drain the battery the most and slow down your smartphone? You can guess twice. Yes, Facebook. But Facebook is not the only culprit that makes your phone run slow and unreliable despite good hardware. AVG's research pointed the finger at many other apps that not only eat up the most of your battery, but also slow down your phone and take up a mountain of memory. Check which are the real leeches of the battery and the "kryptonites" of the smartphone.
We publish a list of apps that drain the battery the most and slow down your smartphone. It was prepared by the company AVG, which created two lists of the most ruthless mobile applications, namely those that come pre-installed on smartphones with the operating system Android, and applications that users download themselves.

If your smartphone is running slowly and is battery all the time in the red (don't always blame the 4G connection and the screen), you may have one of the following apps installed that use the battery like a pig with a bellows and are the biggest threat to the phone's performance.
The applications that put the most strain on the smartphone's battery and performance...
Pre-installed applications that put the most strain on the smartphone's battery and performance:
- Google Play Services
- Facebook Pages Manager
- BBM
- Words With Friends
"Voluntary" applications that put the most strain on the smartphone's battery and performance:
- Snapchat
- Amazon Shopping UK
- Spotify Music
- LINE
- Samsung WatchON
If your smartphone (or tablet) is running slowly, look for the culprit first among these energy-hungry applications and remove the ones you don't need. This will not only relieve the mobile device and its batteries, but will also free up a lot of space, as many (Facebook, Instagram...) a large portion of memory.
