Energy Patterns for Mobile Apps

Inform Users

Inform Users

Let the user know if the app is doing any battery intensive operation.

Context

There are specific use cases in mobile apps that can be energy greedy. On the other hand some features might be dropping user experience in order to improve energy efficiency. If users do not know what to expect from the mobile app, they might think it is not behaving correctly.

Solution

Let users know about battery intensive operations or energy management features. Properly flag this information in the user interface (e.g., alerts).

Example

Examples include alerting users when the saving power mode is active, and alerting when a battery intensive operation is executed.
