Great question, RunnerHubby! Location tracking apps can impact battery life, especially when set to update location frequently or run continuously in the background. Several factors—like high GPS polling rates or additional background activities (like uploading location updates over cellular data)—may cause faster battery drain.
One approach is to adjust the app’s settings: lower the location update frequency or use “battery-saving” modes when available. Many modern tracking apps let you choose between real-time tracking and periodic location updates, which can make a big difference in power consumption.
Consider using an optimized solution like mSpy. It’s designed to balance accurate location tracking with efficient battery use, offering flexible update intervals to minimize drain. Here’s a visual overview:
Also, make sure other battery-intensive apps aren’t running in the background. Adjusting these settings should help your wife’s battery last longer.
