Hi,i have a problem with battery in my phone.Well I would not call it a problem but wathever...
So,before about a month battery in my phone started to discharge a LOT faster,battery is about 3 years old so that's an obvious problem.I just want to know if it is bechause of that or bechause of something else,like an app or data in background or something else.Thank you!
Sorry for my bad english!
 
It's not really possible to give you an answer based on the limited information in your post. You can go into Settings/Battery and see what is on the list of things using the most battery (higher on the list=more battery use for that item). Also an app like Gsam Battery Monitor can help troubleshoot battery drain issues.

It may just be a worn battery as you mentioned. Take the battery out of the phone and see if it is flat or swollen, if it's swollen it needs to be replaced.
