A built-in Samsung Galaxy feature can help your phone perform at its best.
If you’ve noticed slowdowns or glitches on your phone—say, apps are crashing and files disappearing—it might be time to review your device’s settings.
These issues are symptoms of low available memory, which can cause your device to be frustratingly slow.
Your phone has two types of memory: working memory, or RAM, and storage, also known as ROM.
RAM is volatile memory that stores data processed by your phone, such as running apps or music.
RAM determines how smooth the phone runs along with its processor.
ROM is a non-volatile memory that stores data such as photos, videos and your operating system.
Some phones have expandable memory, like an SD card, while others have a fixed amount of internal memory.
Samsung Galaxy devices have a built-in feature that can pause apps, putting a strain on the phone’s RAM.
And it can be done with just a few taps.
Start by navigating to “Settings” and swiping down to “Battery and device care.”
Tap “Memory”, followed by “Clear now” – this will pause applications running in the background.
You can modify which applications can continue running by tapping “Deleted apps”.
And there’s more. Samsung offers other tools to keep your phone running smoothly.
The built-in Battery and Device Care feature also provides an overview of memory, power, and security settings.
It can optimize phones to improve performance in a few easy steps steps.
Start by ensuring your device is updated with the latest software. This can be done in “Settings”.

To automatically boost your phone’s performance using the Quick Optimization feature, go to “Battery and device care” and tap “Optimize now.”
This will clear memory, delete unnecessary files and close applications running in the background.
There are also several ways to change your battery settings to help your phone last longer.
Under “Battery and Device Care,” tap “Battery” and then “Power Saving Mode.”
Turning on adaptive power saving in “More battery settings” automatically sets the power mode based on your usage patterns.
