Our VPN app is engineered for efficiency, so it has minimal impact on battery life when you use it normally.
However, if you’ve noticed your battery draining quicker than you expect, don’t worry, these are easy ways to identify the problem. The best place to start is by checking your device’s battery usage stats, which indicates which apps are using the most power - giving you a clear picture of what’s affecting your battery performance.
Here’s how to check:
-
On iOS: Go to Settings > Battery, then review the "Battery Usage by App" section.
-
On Android: Go to Settings > Battery > Battery usage to see a consumption breakdown by app.
You will typically find that high-consumption apps—such as video streaming services, games, and social media platforms—are the primary contributors to battery drain, rather than the VPN.
If, after checking your battery usage, you still think our VPN app might be using more battery than it should, please snap a screenshot of your battery usage screen and send it to our friendly support team. We're always happy to help and investigate further!
