Hi all,

The battery on my Samsung tab has been draining rapidly, and the cause is com.instagram.android when I check. However, I've already uninsulated instagram, and when I click on this, there are no options to force stop or uninstall or anything.

Can anyone help?

Thanks
K
 
Have you restarted your phone since you uninstalled the app? If there was an Instagram process running in the background just doing an uninstall might not have stopped it. Restarting your phone will shut down anything active before the rebooting process.

If you still see that com.instagram.android is draining your battery after restarting your phone, try installing the Instagram app again (you don't need to actually use the app, you just need to install it's installed on your phone again), and then this time when you go into your Settings >> Apps menu and open up the Instagram app entry, tap on 'Force stop', then find and tap on 'Clear data', and then tap on the 'Uninstall' button.
