#Facebook is not only bad for your health, but your iPhone too!

A study by some hotshot ivy league universities claimed that Facebook is bad for your health. If that isn't enough for you to stop from going blind from ogling on your smartphone, particularly your iPhone ... well, it isn't good for your iPhone either! The battery that is.

In a personal report by mobile economist, John Koetsier, it was, rather unsurprisingly, discovered that by deleting a single app, you could almost double your phone’s battery life.

The “discovery” was made using an Apple iPhone 7, which was bought in the hope of having a strong enough battery to last the entire day. However, much to John’s dismay, it was soon discovered that Facebook, of all applications, was in fact responsible for draining the majority of his battery.

Facebook can be labeled as a VoIP (voice over internet protocol) app, and therefore always be waiting in the background, ready to take a call. And Facebook can be monitoring your location at all times, which also drains battery. - San Francisco-based mobile consultant Giacomo Balli

Now, to divulge details of the exact “battery use percentage” seen on John’s phone would certainly come to no avail, as everyone uses their phone differently, but what can be ascertained, is that Facebook is a surprisingly draining application, despite being one of the most used. Will Mark Zuckerberg fix this very obvious problem some time soon? Stay tuned for updates.

So, it looks like Facebook zucks for both you and your smartphone ☹📱 ....
