Google says Instagram fixed a battery drain issue on Android

A Pixel user reported unusual battery drain linked to Instagram after an app update. Google confirmed that Instagram addressed this issue by releasing version 382.0.0.49.84 of the platform; users can check their app’s version in settings or on Google Play. The support post cited similar complaints across Pixel devices updated earlier this month, though it remains unclear if other Android phones were affected or if Instagram is solely responsible for the battery drain issue.
