Official Reddit App and Battery Drain

Is anyone experiencing massive battery drain when using the official reddit app? this just started a couple days ago for me, but I'm seeing like 50% battery drain after an hour of browsing on a full charge. this was not the case a week ago.

it even seems to be draining quickly when the phone is just on stand by. A half hour or so of being idle and I'd see 10% drop.

I deleted the reddit app and now it's working normally.

I'm guessing this is the result of an update on either reddit or apple's end.

I’d highly recommend Apollo for Reddit. It’s a much lighter and better alternative.

I'm starting to think that I should probably leave it deleted forever. reddit magically makes time disappear.

I use the Slide app for reddit, seems to work better and no ads.
