I’ve been splitting time between Lemmy and Reddit since Apollo shut down. I’ve been using the official Reddit mobile app.

I just looked at my battery stats and holy cow. It ate 40% of a full charge in 2 hours of screen time. I’m not an app developer, but that seems…bad

    There was a post on the mildlyinfuriating sub where someone had tiktok installed but hadn’t loaded it in like a month or something, but it had used a full 2GB of data. Tiktok does more than load videos.

        Almost certainly not. I think if an app gets the right permissions on installation, it doesn’t have to be officially running to take data and send it to the company.
