> You have a Facebook addiction <Facebook is pretty sneaky, even when you are not using it, it is constantly refreshing itself and draining your battery. Luckily there is an easy fix, just disable Facebook background checks in your phone’s settings.
> You’re searching for Wi-Fi <
Using Wi-Fi instead of your data is the way to go, but your poor phone can be drained so quickly by searching for a signal when you’re out and about. Do yourself a favour and turn “enable Wi-Fi” off when you know you won’t have internet access.
