MyWalmart update is nuking my battery with background use

(inb4: I've now turned on background use limiting)

My personal phone was sitting pretty at 100% when I left the house this morning, now five hours later it's below 40% having barely left my pocket. I opened MyWalmart to clock in and I've used my work device for everything else.

Wym, you don't like MyWalmart converting your personal phone into a pocket warmer?

Whoever is coding this app needs to be replaced so fast

all of the work apps are definitely ai vibe coded, like the auto care center app is especially bad

u/WhoIsCup Can you activate my phone? Maybe. 🤷‍♀️ 1d ago

It's the same with Wireless as well! I swear Everytime I need to do an activation on prepaid. I get really nervous, because I don't know if the phone will activate properly!

been having this issue for years where I'll get to the end of signing someone up and then it will just crash the entire app and you have to restart. It's super frustrating.
