I have a samsung galaxy A14 . I hadn’t updated my apps in a while and I decided to download all 22 of them at once. I had my phone charging and when the app updates were done my phones battery had dropped 5% or more. Now that the apps are done updating it feels like my phone is taking longer to recharge as well but that could just be my imagination. I’ve checked my battery settings on my phone and it seems normal. So I’m not exactly sure what is going on.
No. But inactive apps won’t update. If you deliberately started all of those apps once to get an update for them again, obviously they’ll start using battery in the background. But updating apps, apart from the amount of CPU it uses to actually update it, doesn’t eat battery afterwards.
