How To Stop Google Pixel 2 From Draining Battery

Like I said, the Installed apps are usually the number 1 cause when it comes to battery drain on Smartphones and the Google pixel 2 is no exception. So if you haven’t already, check for power-hungry apps that eat deep into your battery. You check this following the steps below.

– Open the Settings App and Click on Battery.

– Scroll to App Usage since full charge and you’ll be presented with apps and services that have used the battery since it was last charged. Each app will have the percentage of the battery it has taken in the front. You also click on an app to see full details.

From here, you should have an idea of what apps are taking up your battery and if it is justified. If you see an unfamiliar app or an app you rarely use taking up all or most of your battery, then you can go ahead and uninstall it. If you don’t want to uninstall the app then i suggest you check if there is an update available for the app. Updates are usually meant to optimize the apps, make it run smoother and consume less battery or fix a bug that was causing to use more power than usual.

Check For An OS Update

If there is an update available for your device then I suggest you update your device as soon as possible. This is because new updates come with a lot of bug fixes and improvements which might just be what your device needs as a bug in the OS is causing the battery drain. So try as much as possible to stay up-to-date so as to avoid battling with issues that have already been fixed in a newer Update. You check for a new update by going to Settings >> About Phone >> System Update >> Search for a new update.

Wrapping Up

The above methods should help you stop Google Pixel 2 from Draining battery. You can also try factory resetting your device although I doubt that would do any good. If you want o factory reset your device, be sure to back up your important data first before doing so.
