As you can see in the photo above, we ourselves experience this loss of autonomy in the devices where we have the app installed. It was something really scandalous and to which a digital security expert has just found the reason for the high consumption produced by the application.
Jonathan Zdziarski , which is the name of the man, maintains that the Facebook app for iPhone collects and transmits our location even though it is run in the background, a claim he made on the Tech Times blog .
This means that the more we move, the more battery drain we will have since the app will constantly be locating us in real time.
What a trick right? Well, we have a temporary solution until the desired update appears to correct this mess.
SOLUTION TO FACEBOOK'S HIGH BATTERY CONSUMPTION:
Until the long-awaited update of Facebook appears, of which it is not yet known when it will appear, we will tell you the steps to follow to prevent said app from constantly locating and locating us .
We must perform the following steps:
- Access SETTINGS/PRIVACY/LOCATION
- Search for the app FACEBOOK,in the list of applications that appears, and press it.
- Click on the option NEVER
In this way, we will prevent the app from locating us, with the consequent savings in the autonomy of our terminal.
If the app does not appear in that list, it is because it is not locating your position and you do not have to do anything.
If you are one of those who uses the location function of Facebook , as soon as the new update appears, you can return to leave the configuration, which we have changed, as it was to continue enjoying the app like you always have.
We hope you found this news interesting and share it on your favorite social networks.
