If that’s the case, the Facebook app could be the cause. In most cases your Facebook app is never truly going to sleep and then terminating like a good app. As a result, it’s using up CPU time, and a lot of your battery.
Facebook is able to do this because it meets the criteria for two types of apps that Apple allows to run in the background: audio apps and voice over IP apps. Facebook apps are operating under these two backgrounding apps privileges, and, as such, are actively chewing up your battery time.
With any luck a fix will be released soon. Until then, there are only two options.
You can delete the Facebook apps from your iPhone or iPad, and then just use the web version of Facebook, or you can force-quit the app when you’re not using it by double clicking the home button, tapping and holding the Facebook icon in the multitasking bar, and then tapping the little red minus icon. This turns off Facebook completely, until you launch it again.
Facebook can eat up battery life on any smartphone, not just Apple devices. When you have notifications turned on, the app is always reaching out and looking for posts, comments, messages etc. This takes up valuable battery life. Unless your really need to receive Facebook activity immediately on your smartphone I reccomend turning notifications off. You can usually do this in the settings area of your Facebook app for Android, Windows and Blackberry devices.
