How To Optimize Battery Usage On Samsung Galaxy
Newer Samsung Galaxy devices have a number of features that can lengthen day-to-day battery life, one of which is Optimize Battery Usage. This feature can force an app to lower its battery consumption by limiting its functionality, like blocking it from using mobile data, getting notifications, or downloading updates.
If you have an app that seems to consistently remain on top of your battery usage list, you can use the feature we are discussing in this guide to limit it.
