SOLUTION: Phone running slow after One UI 7 update

[RevengeOneUI]

A lot of people have been posting about more battery draining and slow performance since updating their phones to One UI 7.

There is a free Samsung app that helps optimise your phone after an update, and all the time!

It's normal and expected for your phone to run slowly or drain battery quickly after an update, as the apps need to optimise themselves to the updated OS.

The Good Guardians App is downloadable for free from the Samsung app store, and within it, is the galaxy app booster module, which is perfect for optimising your phone after an update!

If you have any other questions about the update, or Samsung phones in general, I'm quite tech savvy and have looked into it quite a bit, and discovered things myself, so comment your question and I'll do my best to try and help you!

See attached images.

They clearly tell you that it's perfect for this.

All available modules within the app (on a galaxy a16)

Where do you find it in the app? I cant see it

That app will speed things up, but it doesn't bring new functionality.

That it does it manually trigger the app optimisation process within android. It will happen automatically anyway, just over night.

To explain a little better.

Every phone is a but different, every app is designed to work on every phone. When an app is downloaded, it runs and works fine. When the phone is on charge and the user isn't using it, the phone optimises the app to run faster and be more efficient on the phone.

After each update, the optimisation process resets.

What galaxy app booster does is manually trigger that optimisation process to happen all at once and when the user says so.

So yes it will help, though waiting a few days will have the phone just do it automatically too.

Oh and I should say it's not on most A series devices, usually just S series.

It's called good guardians. Galaxy app booster is inside it. If you don't have an S series phone, it's probably not avaliable to you

Says the app is good lock. I downloaded that on the the z fold 6 but booster app isn't available inside it

[arianwen27]

It might just not be avaliable for your phone, last idea, try this link.

Ah yeah that worked thank you. But is it not just the same as the device care optimisation found in settings?

[arianwen27]

Optimisation just closes all the currently running apps on your phone. That's all it does.

So if there was an app you were using a few hours ago, it stops it running to free up memory. The phone will do this automatically so it's kinda useless

My mistake, 🤭 I meant the good guardians app and I fixed it now.

Thanks for explaining, I didn't think it was so necessary to explain what it does, because as long as it gets it done, that's all that matters to most people. But yes, people don't realise that the most basic way is just to wait a bit, instead of complaining about the update. 😊

The app (good guardians - not good lock like I by mistake wrote originally) is available on my A16, and I believe on most A phones with the one UI 7 update available.
