Galaxy S6 Edge - Presentation of device maintenance (SM-G925W8)
Device maintenance
The device maintenance feature provides an overview of the status of your device’s battery, storage, memory, and system security. You can also automatically optimize the device with a tap of your finger, using the quick optimization feature. This feature improves device performance through the following actions:
• Clearing some memory.
• Deleting unnecessary files and closing apps running in the background.
• Managing abnormal battery usage.
• Scanning for crashed apps and malware.
Our guide will show you how with a few taps, you can quickly improve the overall performance of your device and how you can choose a performance profile that fits best your usage (such as playing games or music).
Note: Screens and settings available may vary depending on your Canadian wireless service provider and your software version (Android Nougat, version 7, was used for this FAQ).
