Does the NHS app drain battery life?

Although installing the NHS coronavirus tracking app is recommended by the UK government, some people are concerned that it could sap their charge. Although personal and public safety is paramount, a functional smartphone is often needed to complete daily tasks and activities; not to mention in case of an emergency. As a result, there are concerns about the NHS app using battery power.

Thankfully, the NHS app only uses a small amount of battery life on Android and iPhone. The NHS app works in the background and does not have to be open, meaning that it only requires a negligible amount of battery percentage to function.

While it’s possible to disable the “contact tracing” functionality in the settings, which uses Bluetooth and slightly more charge, we wouldn’t recommend doing so. In our testing, the battery percentage you could save is negligible and isn’t worth disabling the feature for.

Now that you know the answer to the question “Does the NHS app drain battery life?” you know that the app’s potential personal and public health benefits outweigh the negligible battery drain.
