I have problem with ChatGPT app on android. Everytime its in foreground or background its draining battery like hell (20% per hour). Its only happening on S24 Ultra. Also on internet there are complains about similar isues on snapdragon gen3 and apple a17 pro processor phones. Can you dig into this…

To all Android users experiencing battery drain: Rejoice! I believe I’ve identified the source of the problem. It appears that the battery drain issue is not caused by the ChatGPT app itself. If you are using AdGuard or similar apps, you need to add the ChatGPT app to the exclusions list so that …

I have the same issue on s24 ultra. It is making app unusable . I hope they solve it soon.

As for now, we can only set it to be restricted in the background :person_shrugging:

Same issue for me on my S24Ultra. I had the GPT shortcut in the notification center and widget. I set up battery restrictions to max for this app, and yet it was still draining the battery like crazy. Even warming up the phone. This is a serious no-no for now.

Adding a +1 here. Also a problem on my S24 Ultra. I’ve deleted the app and using the web app for now

So, OpenAI, will you fix the problem?

Yes, the same problem xiaomi 14 ultra.

For Android OS users, you can significantly reduce battery consumption by setting restrictions on app usage through your device settings. If you’re not using Android OS, this topic might not be applicable to you…

Did this from the get go. But a real fix needed.

Hey, OpenAI. Please elaborate on this matter XD

I can confirm issue is still present. Issue is happening even on s22 Ultra. Not sure if it’s related to the phone model or android version. Currently on Android 14. Hope they really fix this issue soon!
