Users can ensure comfort and security by removing or closing unwanted apps. Smart Manager automatically scans for malicious software, apps that use unusually high amounts of battery power, apps that make unusual errors and provide solutions for these issues. In less extreme cases, the unauthorized apps could slow down the device performance or use too much battery power. This could lead to a breach of personal information or damage of the device.
It’s possible for users to install apps or viruses unknowingly. You can see how many background apps are currently using RAM space, so it helps you choose which applications to close. The RAM screen displays the percentage of used RAM, the active applications and how much RAM they are currently using. Clearing the RAM on your device will improve your device’s performance, freeing space so your device can run faster. RAM is where temporary files are stored when your device runs an application. Viewing by frequency of use makes it easy to disable or uninstall unnecessary applications. If you choose the applications, you can find which apps are used more frequently. This displays how much space each type of files is using. Users can check the current storage status by selecting “User Data” within the Storage menu. You can also manually delete data stored on your device. The Details button at the top of the screen shows more information about your device’s total space, available space, system memory, used space, cache data and miscellaneous files. You can see how much of your available storage has been used. After opening the Smart Manager app, select Storage.
To free up storage space from temporarily stored files, Smart Manager automatically scans and deletes any unnecessary data. To view battery consumption of each application, select Detail. Power Saving Mode and Ultra Power Saving Mode also display expected length of battery life if you need to conserve battery power.
By selecting Battery Usage, you can view the processes that have been running since your last full charge. The Battery screen also displays the percentage of remaining battery power and how long it is expected to last. If you don’t want to miss notifications from instant messaging apps, it’s best not to select “Disable For.” Once the app is set for “Disable For,” you will stop receiving alerts from the app. If you choose the “Automatically Optimizing” for every 3 days, the app will stop using battery power from the last usage for three days. You can also select how often the apps will be optimized (every 3, 5 or 7 days). After selecting Battery within the Smart Manager, users can prevent wasting battery power through “App Optimization.”įor each app, users can choose between “Always Optimizing,” “Automatically Optimizing” or “Disable For.” “Always Optimizing” stops the app from using battery power. Sometimes apps are running in the background, consuming battery power. Smartphone users don’t always realize they can remove apps which are infrequently or never used. To boost your device’s speed and performance in a single click, use “Clean All.”
My Knox is also available to download for even more security. The Security menu scans your phone for malware and other security threats. You can view and optimize your device through closing running apps and uninstalling unnecessary apps. Opening the Smart Manager app shows its four main components: Battery, Storage, RAM and Security. The Galaxy S6 edge+ and Note5 come preloaded with improved battery usage, including app optimization, and security features. Available since the launch of the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge, the performance of Smart Manager and the devices that support it has been improving. In the beginning of the year, Samsung introduced the Smart Manager, which helps users scan and optimize their smartphone, all at once. This means preserving the battery life, but also managing storage and RAM and keeping everything safe from security threats. The more and more that smart devices can do, the more important it is to make sure your device is functioning at its best.
