How do I prevent Google Hangouts battery loss?

It takes up literally 25 percent every 30 minutes on screen, 45 in the background (according to Battery Usage). Anyone have a similar problem or got any ideas to prevent this? I turned off Background App Refresh or whatever it's called.

I'm on an iPhone.

It may well be an issue with your phone, or whatever else is running too. Just to test, since seeing the post a few mins ago I've been running it on my moto E4+… Looking at the figures with the screen on the full time, it should last more than a day on this phone!

I've no idea why it should be hitting your battery so hard it's no CPU hog!

Hangouts has to monitor your Wi-Fi connection, which uses a chunk of battery.
i strongly recommend investing in a portable USB charger…

  • Will moving photos/videos from iPhone to google pictures in google drive free space? Just wondering if moving all my photos into the google pictures (photos?) section of the google drive app on my phone will clear up memory space?
  • Will I experience hearing loss if I go to a concert one time? Just went to a concert with my friend even though I really said I didn't want to go because of how loud it would be. Anyways, I used a app in my iphone and it was averaging about 105 decibels for 2 hours and now I'm really scared if I'll get hearing loss tommorow. Can this one time cause hearing loss or does it have to be multiple times?
  • Why don't iPhone users just download google hangouts? Instead of Facetime? Works just like Facetime but you can video call anyone on any device. And you can have up to 15 people on a video call, and message and screenshare. Facetime can't do any of that. But iPhone users rather everyone buy a iPhone just to facetime when they can use hangouts and video call the same.
