This has only started recently, less than a week. My battery is just getting its ass kicked.
My day to day is work, on WiFi, always full barrs Sunday - Sunday. I stopped spectrum mobile from gps location yada yada but it doesn't do anything or help.

laughs in Mint Mobile
My wife is on Visible (Verizon mvno) for a whopping $35/mo with no cap.
Never heard of or have that here. Sounds cool though
You don't have T-Mobile or Verizon in your area? You're on Spectrum, which uses Verizon towers. Visible is owned by Verizon, and is arguably a better deal, especially if you pay annually. Mint Mobile is owned by T-Mobile; T-Mobile is right behind Verizon for coverage.
As someone who had the displeasure of having Spectrum internet for almost 5 years, I would strongly suggest leaving that shithole company in the dust.
verizon is trash dude, no one would pay those prices and be contracted. Verizon is starting at $65 a line at its "unlimited welcome" plan. the 30gb plan is $80 and the50gb is $90. t-mobile is just as bad if not worse. with 50gb STARTING at 90 a month with the next tier up is 150 a month. its fucking garbage dude. i don't understand how people on this site cant be like "oh..idk man maybe this dude looked at all the options before buying a phone plan and might have picked the best option in their area" how is that a hard concept to grasp? good lord, i just want help with an app dude im not going to change my plan to some shit, expensive garbage.
It's still a better value even monthly.
That said - use
adbto remove the app, or just disable it and remove permissions. I've found the latter to be just as effective with certain built-in apps.
