Why you should turn off Adaptive Battery on your Samsung Device
Turn off Adaptive Battery to make your Samsung phone snappier, more responsive, and better at keeping your apps in sync.
Ever notice that some apps on your Samsung Galaxy phone take forever to open, or that notifications from certain apps seem to arrive late, or not at all? The most likely cause is a feature called Adaptive Battery. Now, in theory, Adaptive Battery is a pretty clever tool. It uses machine learning to determine which apps you use often and which you don’t. Then, it limits background activity for the apps you rarely touch, helping your battery last longer. This sounds great, but that’s not always the case.
Let’s say you only check your banking app once a week. Adaptive Battery sees that and says, “Cool, we’ll slow this one down in the background.” But what if that same app needs to send you a time-sensitive alert? Or worse, you open it and it takes a few extra seconds to load because it was put to sleep. That’s when this helpful feature can start to feel more annoying than smart.
If your phone already has solid battery life or charges quickly, you may not need this feature getting in the way. And if you like to get all your notifications instantly, you’ll want your apps awake and alert, not sleeping in the background. In this guide, we will show you how to disable Adaptive Battery on your Samsung device.

Conclusion
While Adaptive Battery was designed to help your Android phone last longer on a single charge, it doesn't always align with how we use our devices day-to-day. If you’ve been missing important notifications, experiencing delays when opening apps, or just feel like your phone isn’t as responsive as it should be, turning off Adaptive Battery might be the fix you didn’t know you needed.
Disabling it won’t magically double your phone’s speed, but it can remove unnecessary restrictions that slow things down, especially if you’re someone who already manages battery life well or owns a phone with a large battery and fast charging.
