Mumsnet app is draining my iPhone battery!

My iPhone updated to the latest update the other day and the Mumsnet app seems to be draining my battery very quickly!

Anyone else?

Yep, I have a thread in Site Stuff about this. Are you using the latest MN update?

Yes it’s the latest one.

I think it’s all the horrible adverts.

Go into settings and turn off background refresh on all apps . They will then only refresh when you open them

really saves on the battery

@BurntBroccoli Can we ask exactly what app version you're using? You can find it by opening the app and then opening the profile menu in the top right hand corner. You'll then be able to see the version number at the bottom of the menu.
