This Hidden Samsung Galaxy Feature Will Automatically Optimize Your Phone’s Performance – SlashGear

In this case, the good work was done by MakeUseOf, where dedicated diggers unearthed Samsung’s Auto Optimization feature. Auto Optimization is a built-in tool on Samsung phones intended to, you guessed it, optimize the phone’s processing, increasing battery life, reducing overheating, and keeping apps running smoothly.

As of the Samsung One UI 5 update, the process of activating Auto Optimization was pleasantly simple. Simply click through to Settings, then to Battery and Device Care. Once there, scroll until you see Auto Optimization and switch the “Restart when needed” option. That will allow the phone to restart when not being used, clearing caches and background apps to free up vital processor cycles for tasks you actually care about.

Auto Optimization can’t solve every problem a user might encounter on a Samsung Galaxy phone, but it’s a powerful onboard tool characteristic of the brand. It’s particularly worth exploring if you’re seeing common phone quirks like app crashes or a flickering screen.
