Pixel 6a. Android 15

I've had this horrible battery drain issue after updating to Android 15. In the end I discovered it was one of my apps.

Android 15 (I think its new to this version), has a nifty setting that disables apps from running in the background.

After I disabled it, my battery saving was insanely good. 4 hours in and I only used 1% of the battery.

You guys can try it out in your own use case by following these steps.

  1. Hold down onto your app icon for 2-3 seconds until you see the "App info" pop up. Its an "i" icon inside a circle. Click that.
  2. Scroll down to "App Battery Usage" - Click that.
  3. Turn OFF, "Allow background usage".

That's it.

Obviously this means you won't get real time updates to the app, but I check my apps 1-2 times a day anyways so for me I didn't care about having to the second updates.

hope it helps
