If you’ve been having unusual battery drain issues on your Pixel phone lately, Instagram might be to blame. In a new support post, Google says that Instagram has updated its app to address the issue.
The fix comes in Instagram version 382.0.0.49.84, which you can grab from Google Play now. If you don’t see the option to update, it could be that you’ve already got it. You can check by long-pressing the Instagram app, tapping “App info,” then scrolling to the bottom to look for the version number.
It looks like Instagram may have been responsible for complaints about battery drain on Pixel devices since a Pixel software update earlier this month. 9to5Google reports that, when asked about the battery drain issue, Google pointed to the support post announcing the Instagram update. The outlet wrote in mid-May that the issue seemed to impact every Pixel model that got the May update, from the Pixel 6 through the Pixel 9. It’s not clear whether other Android phones were hit with the same issue, or whether Instagram was indeed the main culprit.
