This study was commissioned by Avast earlier this year. The company has analyzed more than three million Android smartphones to obtain much more accurate data. In this way, we can know which applications consume the most data in the background. This is the top 10 that Avast has created:
- Facebook: It appears mainly in the list for all the tasks necessary to generate alerts in the form of notification. Instagram: Consumption is mainly due to the use of photos and videos. Yahoo! JAPAN: The multitude of tools that the application has, which forces it to be always up-to-date, consumes a lot of data. Firefox: It appears in the list, although Quantum soon arrives that promises to solve these problems. The Weather Channel: The use of the dynamic screens of the application causes a high consumption. WhatsApp: The Facebook app continues to consume data even if we don't use it. Google Chrome: Another browser on the list. Google is aware and usually offer some tricks to reduce your consumption. DU Battery Saver: Ironic, but this battery saving app starts consuming as soon as the phone is activated. Facebook Lite: This application saves space, but not your data consumption. Google Play Store: The app store itself consumes significantly.
