if you kill zaps on your phone to try and save battery life you're doing it all wrong you might think that when you close an app you're saving battery life by making sure that app doesn't run in the background but here's the reality when you leave an app your phone actually pauses it in its current state so all those apps that show up in your task manager aren't actually draining your battery they're just frozen sitting in your phone's RAM or memory that way the next time you launch it you can pick up where you left off so when you kill an app you're actually taking it out of your phone's memory which means that the next time you launch it your phone will have to do the work of putting it back in the RAM a much better way to extend your phone's battery life is to manage how much data they use go to your phone's battery tool and see which apps are draining the battery once you identify the biggest Hogs you have two options first cut back on any unnecessary notifications on both iOS and Android you can do this by going to an app in finding the notification settings or if you want to disable notifications entirely you'll want to go to your phone's general notification settings and finally the best way to prevent any app from killing your phone's battery is to control how much data it uses in the background on iOS you can do that by going to settings then general then background app refresh and toggle your options here on Android the process will vary but on this Samsung Galaxy s6 you go to settings then data usage find the app you want to restrict and then toggle restrict background data and now you're doing it right
