Fix, Google App on My OnePlus 8 Pro Drains Battery Quickly

Use Adaptive Battery

The full effects of Adaptive Battery can be seen on an OnePlus phone, this isn’t exclusive to Pixels. Hop into Settings, Battery, and Adaptive Battery to make sure it’s turned on. After that, there’s nothing to do, it just works in the background to save you battery wherever it can. The per-app optimization part comes in our next tip.

Enable Battery Optimization Settings for Google App

In addition to Adaptive Battery, OnePlus has its own extra settings pane for the optimization of apps. In the battery settings, you’ll see the “Battery optimization” area. The phone starts optimizing apps automatically based on usage; when they’re optimized, they’ll run less frequently in the background, ideally to reduce battery life. If you find an app that is causing problems, you can find it in the list and force it to be optimized.

Force Quit Google from Background Activity
