My EE app - battery usage

[drbrtsn55]

Anyone else finding that it uses a huge amount of battery - about 15% of my total usage over the last 24 hours on my Pixel 7 Pro? And that's all background, didn't open the app once.

@drbrtsn55  Turn off background usage for the app.   You don’t have to use a device to use data if apps are running in the background. This will also consume battery power.

Thanks - yes, I've changed the settings to restricted background use. Not sure why it is still running at all, when unopened or "killed" from the app manager.

Hi @drbrtsn55 

Go into the app settings and disable all the device permissions and then all the data and marketing, which are active ( you might need to do this twice) unfortunately the Firebase and Adobe analytics spyware cannot be deactivated and are always active, which is annoying.

Thanks

Thank you, that's useful. Let's see if that improves things.
