Is your phone battery is draining quickly? Or your phone's performance is not good enough? In today's digital word every people wondering about the phone battery life, not matters whether they have high end smartphone or low end phone.

The smartphone comes with Li-On (Lithium-ion) batteries and it has limited charging age, after that they starts draining quickly. The main reason for battery drain is because lots of apps installed on the phone which continuously runs in background and does impact the battery life.

We can overcome with this issue by installing only one app and it's totally free on play store called Greenify. It is designed for both rooted and non-rooted android phones.
