which app drains more battery on the S6.... Skype or Google Hangouts

[yourphonemyphone]

I'm trying to figure out which app drains more battery power while on standby on the S6.

Skype or Google Hangouts

I use both for instant messaging with friends/family/co-workers only. I do not use either app for voice or video chat.

Thanks!

They should be about equal in terms of battery usage. Skype used to be a battery hog but has since been updated to work in the background with zero noticeable impact on battery life.
