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

    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.
