Messenger for facebook Battery drain

[zsolo1111]

My Facebook Messenger drains 16% of my battery in 20 minutes, what should I do?

try a soft reset by holding volume down + lock button until your phone vibrates and restart

Brand New Lumia 925 um this is very normal then , if your phone is new 1-2 weeks old then battery will take certain charges to show you some surprising battery results , my Lumia 920 took 3 weeks to calibrate the new battery

Oh sorry, I mean one month "New". I did some test with Viber and Whatsapp, and my battery life was normal. Seriously the Facebook Messenger drains my battery faster than Asphalt 8, it's hilarious.

no problem here on my Lumia 920 , it may be because I don't use Facebook much , hopefully Facebook team will address these issues , I am trying to contact them today via email for this issue

Lumia 925 - use this messenger awfully too much, more than I used to use Whatsapp - no battery drain at all. I find this much better for battery than Whatsapp. If it comes with black background, even better!

I have no battery problem with Facebook Messenger. But I have disabled all sounds and notifications within the app (when the app is open). Now, the Facebook app, that's a real battery burner. The sad thing is that it seems to drain the battery even when not being used so much. Since Messenger came out, I uninstalled Facebook and saw a nice battery improvement.

I did a hard reset, we'll see...

Still same...

I saw some comments in the store with the same issues, in my country.

my Lumia 1020 also drain so much from using facebook messenger... only when i have it open. my phone heats up like crazy.
whatsapp/line already drains my battery when I have it open. but facebook messenger is theeeee worst..
I think the problem got even worse too after installing the wp8.1 preview but I didn't do a hard reset.

Also note that fb messenger background is white.... Which is a battery guzzler by itself. I wish they'd implement the option of white / black background.

Had the same issue after upgrading to 8.1, Facebook Messenger drained battery so fast... Performed a hard reset and its okay now. Try reinstalling the app if it doesn't help make a phone backup and perform a hard reset.

I tried that, and it didn't do anything. I'm using an HTC Windows Phone 8x so I'm more or less stuck unless Facebook makes a fix...
