For about three weeks now, I have been perplexed as to why my battery keeps draining so much suddenly.

I have gone through my apps and turned off mobile data for most and background updates.

I have narrowed it down to just being in the Mumsnet site using Safari. I literally watch my battery percentage count down when I am on this site. It never used to!

I am using IOS 11.3 version.

I have also attached photos of my phone going down 20% in 15 minutes.

Can anyone help?

Hi guys, thanks for raising this.

As a general rule, using a website use will always drain more battery than using an app with the same content. This is because much more data has to be loaded every time you load a page on a website, compared to an app.

This is one reason we created the Talk iOS app and the Talk Android app.

*The Android app has some issues we're currently aware of and still working on, it also has less features than the iOS Talk app.
