In a post on his personal
page, technical director of Facebook had
clearly stated the problems that make Facebook on iOS smartphones caused energy drain. In recent days, various websites
and tech blogs around the world have posted information of Facebook on iPhone
and iPad caused energy drain, which is a unintelligible thing, so this social
network had to solve the problem. Many sources blamed Facebook for taking
advantage of iOS mechanism to not be pushed down to the background of the
operating system, so they can continue to update data even when Background App
Refresh is turned off. Until today, Facebook has released a new update for the
iOS smartphones. While the update
notification did not mention of the annoying energy drain error, the technical
director of Facebook confirmed that the new version will fix those 2 terrible
errors which caused unusual energy drain. The first error was mentioned is CPU
spin, which made the Facebook app drain more energy and the update fixed it
completely. The second error is management method of sessions with the sound of
Facebook app. The director said that if you leave the app during a video, the sound
of video on Facebook still continues, which keep the app on the open session
instead of being put down to the background in the standard of iOS design.
According to the director, the new update will stop the sound from running
under background and fix the error. Also in the post, he confirmed the Location
History function is not related to unusual energy drain of Facebook. He also
apologized for the inconvenience that those errors caused for users, also
stated that Facebook always determined to improve the battery life of Facebook
on iOS smartphones. However, some
experts advise users to turn off Facebook completely after each session by
tapping devices, choosing multitasks and swiping the current Facebook session
out from the running apps on your phone. Also, always notice if you are
scrolling new feeds for too long because of a new frozen error.
