Meta’s new Threads app ‘murderous’ for phone batteries, users say

Users of Meta’s new “Twitter killer” Threads gripe that the app — which has amassed more than 100 million users in less than a week since it went online — is noticeably draining their phone batteries.

“Is Threads just …. murderous to anyone else’s battery?” a user of the app wrote on their Twitter page.

“I’m not going to use Instagram Threads until … it stops draining my phone battery,” wrote social media user Andrew Brown on Twitter.

Other Twitter users posted screenshots of their Threads accounts which included the graphic showing low battery life.

“Go follow us on Threads. And don’t look at my battery level,” wrote one Twitter user.

“Follow me on threads…also 1% battery,” another Twitter user wrote, attaching a screenshot to their Threads account.
