Battery draining

82 replies

Hi. The Mumsnet app is really draining my phone battery today. It's not normally a problem. But in approx 5-10 mins it's drained from 90% to 30%. This has happened 3 times today. Anyone else having or had this problem?

I’m having problems with mumsnet using chrome on my iPad. It hangs and is totally unresponsive.

This is happening again today. Anyone else having the same problem?

Battery is draining very quickly and phone is getting hot when I use Mumsnet app. (Only happening with Mumsnet. Phone is fine with all other apps, safari, etc.)

Yep , really drained and hot ( iPhone not me.)

Yes, my phone also got very hot! I switched it off for a few mins as I was worried by how hot it was.

I'm having real problems again today with Mumsnet draining my phone battery.

I'm hardly using Mumsnet at the moment due to the issue of the adverts on the app. But I have just used it for 10 mins today (just to try to check in with a particularly supportive thread) and my battery has gone from 95% to 55% in 10 minutes!

I’ve never reloaded the app after having these problems last year. MN are unresponsive about it so I’m not intending to use it again.

Anybody still having this issue? Have the mumsnet app on my iPad and it’s used up 94% battery in less than two hours. My iPad is also boiling hot!

This had been much better but been really bad again yesterday and today.

Hmm no mine seems ok now as far as I can tell.

I'd forgotten all about the issue and starting this thread.

Did this ever get sorted?

Typing is slow, scrolling is jerky and my phone battery has just gone from 24% to 8% in about 15 mins! Only using Mumsnet, no other apps.

KnottyKnitting · 18/11/2023 23:12

I am finding the app totally unusable over the last few days. It won't scroll properly- really jerky, , typing is very slow, the battery js draining and my phone is getting hot. And no I have no other apps running in the background.

You really need to sort this out!

This had been a bit better but awful again today. @LilyMumsnet is there any update on why the app is doing this? I don't have any problems with any other apps or using my phone for anything else.

It got better for a while but today app is unusable again.

uncomfortablydumb53 · 19/10/2023 11:08

Mine resolved but has been happening again in the last few days
100% down to 20% in two hours!
This only happens on Mumsnet
I have reinstalled the app and it still happens

felisha54 · 19/10/2023 09:59

My iPhone gets very hot when I'm on Mumsnet. Good hand warmer for the winter.

This seemed to have been a bit better for a few days but is really bad again today. Battery draining really quickly and phone very hot. Again - there are no problems with any other apps or using my phone for anything else. Only the Mumsnet app is causing these problems.

if I was mainly an ios user I'd simply shut it down until this is fixed

Agreed, that is what I've done. I deleted the app and only use desktop now. I came back to the thread today to see if anything had changed - apparently not.

I was just coming on this thread to say exactly what @C8H10N4O2 has just said.

I am the same. Only app experiencing this issue and I'm having to cut down use. App - iOS 16.6.1 iPhone and iPad

Saverage · 01/10/2023 12:32

Same problem. Ipad gets burning hot and eventually Mumsnet app slows and freezes. Only happens on this app. I'm on IOS 16.7. I'll be cutting down on Mumsnet until it's fixed, it can't be good for the ipad to get so hot.
