For the last 10 days tailscale clocked 1% battery on my phone. I honestly didn’t even consider turning it off for battery savings.
How’s the power draw on mobile devices?

Its not bad using the official wireguard app. Its definitely noticable. On the android battery screen it’ll show around 5% after a full day of use and it on always

I’d consider 5% to be trivial, for what it does.
My battery consumption really depends on how much traffic I send over it.

Not noticeable with always-on Tailscale with the default split-tunnel mode. That is when Tailscale is only used to access Tailscale machines and everything else is routed via the default route.
