battey usage after closing app

Hi,

Why is an app still using energy after closing the app?
Under battery usage you can still see the percentage the app is using. I have the latest firmware 4.4.4
Build 23.0.1.A.0.167
Thx

With what apps does this occur? Some apps restart after being closed.

It depends,some apps stay active and have some of their services send you notifications.You need to force stop them.
