- Users have reported YouTube's app is sapping their iPhone or iPad's battery

- One user took to Twitter to complain their phone lost 20% charge in 30 minutes
- YouTube responded: 'This is something we're actively working on'
YouTube has promised to fix an annoying iPhone and iPad battery bug that is draining the charge of people's devices.
A number of users from across the globe have reported that the video app is sapping their device's battery, even if they don't have the app open.
One user recently took to Twitter to complain after YouTube's app appeared to sap as much as 20 per cent of their device's battery life in half an hour.
In response, YouTube tweeted: 'Appreciate the report, this is something we're actively working on. Thanks for your patience.'
Some users have linked the trouble to Apple's iOS 11.1.x update.
It could be a matter of the the app's latest update being poorly optimised.
To avoid YouTube draining your iPhone or iPad, you must force quit the app, which can be done from the multitasking menu.
An option is enabled by double pressing the home button on most iOS devices, and YouTube can be swiped out of that view to force it to close.
To check how much YouTube and other apps are draining charge on your iPhone or iPad, open up the Settings app.
From here tap on battery options, where you can find what percentage of your battery power each app has used up, as well as how long it has been used for.
