I use Signal as my primary SMS, and more and more of my contacts are using it. As such, I'm doing a lot more Signal voice and video calls. On my several year old, cheapy Moto G6, I've never had an issue with the battery draining noticeably faster when using Signal. I've done probably 45-60 minute calls over wifi, after which my battery is... maybe 70% full charge?

On iOS I've seen 10-40% battery percentage loss during relatively short calls (5-15m) on multiple devices. This app is the worst battery drainer I've ever seen on an iOS device, considering what it does.
