Why does amino drain my battery
Online communities like offline ones are a great way to interact, ask questions, and receive specific answers based on user experiences.
Amino app is an online community app available on Android and iOS mobile phones. It allows one to discover, explore, and join a community dedicated to a specific topic and one can communicate with the other members in three ways – voice, text, or a screening room. This screening room also allows you to watch videos with other users while voice chatting. It also offers other features including blog posts, polls, stories, quizzes, and many more.
There is no specific reason why Amino drains your battery. However, since you’re doing a lot like typing a message, talking over the phone’s microphone to other users, or in a video room watching a video with others while chatting, these are enough activities to overheat your phone leading to battery drain.
A poll on the Amino apps forum titled ‘Does Amino Drain your Phone Battery?’ with 102 votes had 63% of people saying yes while 24% stated no citing that they had good batteries. Other users have also expressed their concerns regarding how fast their phones overheat while using Amino. This is an indication that the app is using a lot of power because of doing a lot of work. Chronic overheating can damage your phone’s chips and cause a failure.
Some apps that consume more storage space or are graphic intensive and use more processing power make your phone overheat. This uses the power that is supplied by the battery and Amino is no different. You can prevent overheating and battery drain by closing all other applications running in the background before launching Amino app and when not using it, stop the app before proceeding. This will save your battery. Another way to save your battery is by installing Amino on your PC which can handle heavy applications.
Despite Amino app being exclusively available on mobile-only, it can be installed and ran on a PC. This is possible by using an Android emulator like Bluestacks among others. It makes the app run indirectly on the computer like it’s running on mobile through this application. All you’ve got to do is download your preferred Android emulator, install it and then run Amino on it.

How safe is Amino
Amino’s forums and communities are run and moderated by other users. This poses a risk in terms of content posted there since most of its users are kids and teenagers in the 12-20 years age bracket. Though the app has a rating of 12 years of age, most critics, parents, and review sites have come to a unanimous conclusion that it shouldn’t be for kids less than 15 years. Since communities are created based on topics, you will find a lot of communities created along the lines of inappropriate content for kids including sexual activities, nudity, drugs, vulgar language, and violence. Apart from this, your kid can be cyber bullied which might have severe effects on their self-esteem. Addiction to online apps like Amino is dangerous and affects anyone regardless of age.
Amino app doesn’t have any parental control features. All it asks during sign up is if you’re 12 years or older with a warning that the app might contain inappropriate content. The chats, users, and groups are not moderated by Amino apps. You can keep your kids safe online by teaching them about online safety and why it’s important to them. Another way is ensuring your kids don’t join Amino until they come of age.
Conclusion
Being part of an online community is helpful because you get to interact with people with whom you share interests. You also get to learn and have fun too. Amino app offers you all these but if you aren’t careful, it can drain your battery and worse expose you or your kids to inappropriate content.
