Uninstalling Facebook app saves up to 20% of Android battery life
I don’t use the Android app myself, for reasons other than battery life. However, if this is true then it may well see even more people shying away from using the Facebook app.

I’m sceptical Alan Stainer – it never shows up as more than 1% in my battery usage stats, even though I rarely use it.

Phil Buckley the article mentions the app not showing much battery usage itself, but it appears to force other Android services to use more battery. When uninstalled the Android services use less juice.
I would like to know if this is just normal behaviour for apps or not. It would need a much bigger study of apps and battery usage and not just focusing on Facebook.

Alan Stainer I see, but still not convinced. Like you I think it’s misleading to single out Facebook: I have a battery saver app that reports on apps that surreptitiously use system resources, and to be honest I don’t remember seeing Facebook in the list very often, if at all.

This document is a bit technical, but it describes Android’s new Doze mode: http://developer.android.com/training/monitoring-device-state/doze-standby.html
In a nutshell, it works by not letting apps do whatever they want to do, whenever they want to, thereby allowing the device to enter longer periods of low power consumption more often.
I don’t know the Facebook app myself, but if running on a <6.0 Android device (without Doze) and trying to display notifications to the user in near real-time (say, instantly or within minutes instead of hours), this constant activity might cause the device to run out of power much more quickly.
The same might be said for other apps with similar activity profiles (messengers? other social platforms?), but Facebook might just be the one most widely used. ;)

I also heard it saves battery if you put your phone in a blender.
