How to remove default apps from “Power Saving” mode

Lozidu — Mon, 11 Dec 2023 07:17:03 GMT

Hi,

The default applications in "Energy saving" mode do not interest me and are not useful.

How to remove them?

(Manufacturer restrictions on software ergonomic freedoms are getting worse.)

Unfortunately, these cannot be removed. Except the Gallery app, i think the other 3 apps are required to carry out basic "phone" functions. Not sure why Samsung thought Gallery was important in power saving mode?!

Gallery cannot be removed. You can add Internet in one of the 4 empty places in the bottom row.

IMO Chrome drains more power then Gallery. Thats the reason.

This is stupid. Instead of 8 apps, we got only 4. Ok maybe the Caller app is mandatory, so we should still have 7. The Settings doesn't belong there, it should be in the three dots menu.

Users should be have freedom to choose which app and how much power saving we will get as a result.

I use quick setting panel for apps that can be used with toggle like VPN connect button.

But I really look forward to change those 8 options for my own

4 is not enough for me

You can use this app:

You need to let it run in Power Saving mode.
