Remove Unnecessary Pre‑installed Apps
Many Samsung devices come with apps that you may never use, such as Samsung Smart TV, OneDrive, Facebook, Outlook, Microsoft 365, Tutor, and others. These apps can run background processes that drain the battery.
- Tap and hold the app icon.
- Select Uninstall from the pop‑up menu.
- Confirm the removal.
Uninstalling these apps prevents them from consuming power when they are not needed.
Identify Power‑Hogging Apps
Samsung’s battery manager can show which apps consume the most power based on your location, 5G connectivity, and background activity.
- Open Settings > Battery and device care.
- Tap Battery usage to see a list of high‑consumption apps.
- Disable or restrict background activity for apps you don’t need.
Download Content for Offline Use
Streaming music, podcasts, and navigation apps use significant battery when they run over 5G or LTE, especially outdoors where the device may become warm.
Plan ahead by downloading your favorite media while connected to Wi‑Fi:
- Open the streaming app (e.g., YouTube, Spotify, Google Maps).
- Use the in‑app download button to save videos, playlists, or maps.
- Enjoy the content offline without extra battery drain.
By combining app removal, power‑usage monitoring, and offline downloads, you can noticeably extend the battery life of your Samsung Galaxy phone.
