[deleted] any idea on how to find out which app it is (I presume it must be an app, then)?

@primipare, you can look under Settings -> Battery -> Battery Manager as well as Battery usage to see what is using a lot of power. Do you have a lot of apps downloaded? How many are constantly running in the background?
primipare I had a 7 before as well and the battery did drain a little faster but I believe that was due to it having Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp so if you are using either of those apps it could drain your battery by a lot especially Facebook & Messenger both of those have such a huge battery draining issue.

[deleted] Thx.
I avoid downloading too many apps and I use dark mode (mainly to protect the eyes but should help, too). I'll keep checking that, especially days when drainage seems abnormal.
GrapheneLover Oh, goodness, no, no, no facebook, messenger or insta on my phones. Yerk. But I do have whatsapp, unfortunately. been trying to keep away but not easy and i keep reinstalling it after a while.
primipare WhatsApp can drain your battery a lot, to mitigate that you can put it in a separate profile as well as all of your messaging apps that you use and end the session for it when you don't need to use it so that the battery doesn't drain as much
GrapheneLover that's quite clever, thx. then i need to swap from the whatsapp profile to my normal one each time i want to check whatsapp. which can be ok as i rarely use it.
de0u yeah, will try that
primipare Maybe manually close the app via the 3-button navigation can help from switching profiles all the time. But since WhatsApp is a Meta product it might be smart to have it in a separate profile to create a bigger barrier between you and them. Some apps might have an artificially high active time to gather the most possible info about you. Would be great to have tools to detect this.
