Top smartphone-killing apps for Android and iOS, based on storage hogs and battery draining performance

Quite an interesting read, and I must say, in the past I have ditched an app or two because of such behaviour. It boggles the mind to think an app like Uber could eat 300 MB of storage space. And seemingly fitness apps and social media apps are also culprits when it comes to battery draining.

It may be worthwhile considering possible 3rd party alternative apps, which can sometimes be lighter on resources (but of course many Big Tech social media giants are discouraging such 3rd party access as it often bypasses all their adverts and algorithms – just saying).

Generally (my untested assumption) the more sensors or data gathering an app does, the more it probably eats battery and storage resources.
