Leave your phone's battery in peace with Greenify

Facebook is the biggest culprit when it comes to hogging an Android phone's battery. Somehow, the Facebook app is terrible at being Facebook but still, for many, it's a necessary evil. Most people turn the push notifications off to save themselves from the constant buzzing. But what if I told you that you can keep Facebook from sucking your battery dry? In fact, what if I told you that you can add any app to the list?

Enter Greenify. A lot of people might be accustomed to task killer applications which do little to help and maybe even add to the battery's load at times. What Greenify does is it keeps the app “hibernated,” which is exactly what it means. Your app stays in the background until you tap the icon to run it or if a third-party application (can be switched off) launches it. Greenify also turns of any sort of push connectivity. So if you add an app like, let's say, Whatsapp, it'll mean that you won't get any notifications for new messages until you run the app—no background connectivity. A smart idea would be to have the apps that you use periodically in the hibernation list, e.g Facebook, Flow, 9gag. Keep in mind, launching Instagram automatically launches the Facebook and its Messenger app.

What makes it truly special? Greenify can work without root privileges. You can use Greenify in your new Android phone without even voiding the warranty. What more, it also provides you with a one-click-hibernation shortcut. Fiddle around with the settings, everything is pretty much self-explanatory and can even be run straight up without making any changes.

Ditch your random battery saving app and get Greenify.
