HOUSTON – You may love all the apps on your cell phone but they could be what's causing your battery to constantly die.

Since most of us have an average of 30 apps on our phones, here are the five apps that can drain your battery.

Facebook and Facebook Messenger are big guzzlers because they run even after you close them out!

Spotify wears down the battery along with Instagram and the WhatsApp.

RetailMeNot might save you money but it sucks out a lot of battery power.

If you have game apps, remember to close them to avoid unnecessary battery drain. Turn off Bluetooth and disable GPS while you're at it.
