I've been running COVIDSafe on Android for most of today, Samsung's Battery monitor is showing 3% battery use by COVIDSafe after 6 hours. I guess that's about a 10-12% battery hit over a full day, but at least it's using less battery than Spotify or TuneIn or Pocket Casts when they were in use with the screen off. So we're not talking Pokemon Go levels of battery drain here. It works fine in the background on Android. Much like the Pebble smartwatch app does for its Bluetooth connection, you get a permanent notification, and you have to disable battery saver to stop the app sleeping. But you can still use your phone for other things. Battery monitor regards the app as in "Active" use the whole time, not in "background" use.
