It’s not any of the social media big hitters like Facebook or Instagram either.
Zeeshan Arif, founder and CEO of software company Whizpool, told She Finds that sacrificing two apps could help.
The first they said should go is the popular fitness app Fitbit, which he said would save “hours of battery life”.
Arif added: “The app is great for tracking your fitness and your sleep, but it’s also a huge battery hog.
“If you have a new iPhone, deleting this app will save you hours of battery life.”

He said: “If you want to preserve your phone’s power as much as possible, don’t use Skype.”
