Snapchat is one of the most popular apps in the world but using it all the time is killing your phone.
The reason it's having such an effect on your device is because the app uses the phone's camera, Wi-Fi and data, and GPS capabilities at the same time.
The sad truth was unearthed by online security company AVG Technologies who have been researching app usage on mobile.
Snapchat has overtaken Facebook and Spotify as the biggest drainer on your phone with Netflix, Instagram and Tumblr also ranking high in usage categories.
