"Google App" Is Using All My Battery

[SyMelt]

So I noticed today that the battery on my Xperia Z3 Compact was draining faster than normal today, when I looked at battery usage I saw the the statis in the image below. What is "Google App" And How Do i get it to stop using all my Battery.

An example of my standard usage is I un plug my phone in the morning, have podcasts, music on random, audiobooks playing for about 9hrs straight then come home and plug in my phone to start charging. battery dropped about an extra 20-25% over previous days usage today.

Other recent changes: I added a 128GB micro SD last night loaded with music.

Any ideas?

Which google app? Google plus, Google music, play store?

I don't know that's part of the confusion as the image showed it just listed "Google Apps".

"Google now" is called google app. So that is what using your battery. It normally doesn't use that much battery

That was my initial though so when I unplugged my phone I turned off google now (or at least I think I did see image below) the images after that are right after i woke up so the phone has been unused for basically its whole battery time.

Do you have Ok Google enabled ?

[SyMelt]

It was enabled but only on the Google screeen. I have since Turned that off (since I don't use it anyway

How is the battery life now?

The turning off of voice did not help at all. I did however find a suggestion from another forum that did resolve the issue.

"Have you tried turning it off and back on again?"

*Shame* :smileyd_oh:
