Battery draining and phone getting hot

5 replies

An hour or so on Mumsnet has chomped through 44% of my battery life and my phone is so hot it’s uncomfortable to hold. Also, the screen keeps dimming and dimming making it hard to read.

only happens on Mumsnet, no other app (and you still haven’t fixed the capital letter at the start of a new paragraph)

iPhone 15, most recent iOS

it’s making the app unusable, please fix!

Hello @Tallisker could we just double check that your phone does this when you are using the Mumsnet app and not when you are using a browser on your phone?
And if it is the app, could you please share the version of the MN app you are using and let us know when the draining started - is it a recent issue or has it always been an issue for you?

Thank you @Tallisker
If you click on the human icon on the top right corner of app when you open it, it will say Mumsnet and the app version at the very bottom of the page. It should be 45.0.12
Thanks again.

Oh dear, it looks like I need to update my app. Sorry about that.

We're still looking into this issue. @Mymindhasgoneblank - can we ask you what sort of phone you're using? eg Samsung Galaxy, iPhone 15 etc? Thank you!

Evening, everyone. We are aware of this issue and are working on it as we speak. At the moment we're afraid we don't have a solution but as soon as there is any news on it, we will update here to let everyone know.
