For a past couple of weeks, many Facebook Messenger users were complaining about very fast battery drainage on their smartphones (with the accompanying thermals impact) due to an unknown bug in the app. Luckily, it looks like the bug which was causing this rapid battery draining has been fixed after all.
Yesterday, Facebook's Vice President of Messaging Products, David Marcus, took Twitter and acknowledged that they were aware of the bug and that it's now fixed. As for what was causing the problem, David said that it was a server-side bug, adding that it has now been isolated and fixed by the Facebook team. David also advised users to restart the Facebook Messenger app in order to completely get rid of the issue.
If you're a Facebook Messenger user and noticed that your battery is draining very fast from past couple of weeks, then you were most likely affected by this battery draining bug. But as acknowledged by Facebook, the issue is now fixed on their end and to ensure it's fixed on your end too, simply restart the Messenger app. You can try force closing the app from the Settings. Alternatively, you can also restart the device to see if the issue is resolved.
