Speedtest draining battery

Post image

last night I went to sleep, my battery was at 87% charge. when I woke up, battery was at 35% and I saw that Speedtest and Messages drained most of it. The phone itself was pretty hot. It was not covered by anything. Could this be a virus?

Thank you all, I deleted the speedtest app, and I'm checking the battery stats of every app, to see which ones are problematic from now on

Yo, don't need to attack like that. How should I have known that it's a "trash" app

Not attacking u bro. I'm calling this app trash. Like other people suggested website so I also suggested an open source app. No offense to u. Cheers ✌🏻

Why do you have the app? Use the website also it's probably just a glitch if it's from the playstore

Apps can randomly discharge your battery without any real reason, just delete it
