Facebook has no by-the-books way to realize some issues like this are happening, largely because iOS makes this difficult to watch.
- scott_karana 11y agoiOS 9 does include a breakdown now. "To see how long each app has been open and onscreen, and running in the background, tap <clock icon>. https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT201264 https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT201264 Screenshot of the feature, since that page lacks it: http://cdn.iphonehacks.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/ios-9-battery-usage.jpg http://cdn.iphonehacks.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/ios-9-...
- 0x0 11y agoI think the OP was talking about (aggregate) telemetry going back to facebook (crash reports yes, battery usage stats nope). Battery stats telemetry is almost certainly only available to Apple, and not shared with third parties. (If you dig into your device's settings->logs, there are log files that seem to record every imaginable interaction with the device) Also, for a long while, ios devices that have mounted the developer disk image provide some extra battery logging in settings, but that will only provide insight on the developer's own devices.
- JaRail 11y agoBut is that data reported back to the developer? When you have half a billion users, what anyone one person sees isn't very representative. This iOS 9 feature is focused on helping the end user (which is great), not the developer (which would also be great).
- eridius 11y agoIt shouldn't require specialized tools to figure out that your app is continuing to run in the background when it has no reason to do so.
