Android phones always have big batteries compared to iPhones. This is because the Android operating system is quite power-hungry, and having a small-sized battery in an Android device won’t be enough for a full day charge. Most Android phones nowadays come with a battery capacity of around 4,000 mAh. Still, even that can seem low to some users if they have some buggy or power-hungry applications installed in your Android smartphone.
If you are always looking for your phone or tablet’s charger despite having a decently sized battery in your Android device, then you need to check which application or service is draining your battery. By default, Android has a battery screen that displays battery usage of apps, system services, and even hardware in terms of percentage since the last full charge. So if you notice that a particular application or service is draining a lot of your battery, you can uninstall that application or disable that service to fix your battery drain issue. But how do you access the battery usage screen on your Android device? That is what we will see here in this article. So without any further ado, let’s get into it.
How to see which applications are draining the battery in an Android phone or tablet?
Different Android OEMs use different UI for their Android devices. But the battery information screen access procedure is similar in almost all the UIs. Additionally, the battery information screen is part of the Android operating system. So the information is accessible on all Android devices.
How to open the battery usage screen?
We will show you how you can access the battery usage screen in an Oneplus device for reference purposes. But the process will be somewhat similar with other Android smartphones or tablets too.
- Open up “Settings” on your Android smartphone or tablet.
- Scroll and find the battery option here. Once you find it, tap on it. If you can’t find the battery option directly in the Settings menu, it is hidden under another submenu. In that case, click on the search bar in the Settings menu and type in “battery.” In the results, you will see the battery option. Tap on it, and you will get to the battery settings section.
