Everything we do online is a performance. Tasked with artificially representing ourselves, it’s pretty much inevitable. The best way to get to know someone is IRL. But who has time for that? Luckily, there’s an easy hack for figuring out someone else’s interior life. Buried deep inside their phone are dark secrets that reveal the most sinister parts of who they are. Someone’s battery usage — which you can find by going to Settings > Battery on the iPhone — tells you everything you need to know.
