Today, I’ll show you how to put an end to those resource-hogging apps once and for all. With just a few easy steps, you’ll be able to reclaim your phone’s power and enjoy a longer-lasting battery.
So, let’s dig in and learn how to turn off those background apps on your Galaxy S7 running Android 7.0 Nougat.
First things first, unlock your phone and head over to the Settings. They’re like the control center of your device, where you can tweak all sorts of things to make it work just the way you want it to.
Once you’re in the Settings, you’ll see a bunch of different options. Don’t worry, I’ll guide you through it! Look for the “Device Maintenance” section and tap on it. This is where the magic happens.
Now, you’ll find yourself surrounded by even more options. But fear not, we’re on the right track. Look for the “Battery” option and give it a gentle tap. Ah, the sweet relief of finding exactly what we need!
Alright, now you’re in the Battery settings. Take a deep breath and look for the “App Power Monitor”. You’ll see a handy toggle switch right next to it. Go ahead and give it a tap to make sure it’s turned on. This powerful little tool will keep an eye on those background apps for you.
See that “Save Power” button at the bottom? Tap it, and watch as your phone magically analyzes all the app data to determine which ones are secretly draining your battery in the background. It’s like having your own superhero fighting for your battery life!
Great job so far! But we’re not done just yet. You still need to manually stop those sneaky apps from running in the background. Stay with me!
Scroll down a bit until you find the “Unmonitored Apps” section. This is where you can decide which apps get a free pass to run in the background. You might see a list of apps already, but don’t worry, we’ll get to that in a moment.
Now, see that three-dot menu icon at the top right corner of your screen? That’s where all the extra goodies hide. Give it a tap, and a menu will pop up like magic. From this menu, select “Add apps”.
Ah, the list of apps you’ve been waiting for! Take a good look and select the apps you want to put a stop to. Imagine them whimpering as you flick the switch to the off position. You have the power!
Once you’ve selected all the apps that deserve a little time-out, tap “Done” at the top right corner. That’s it! You can now sit back and relax knowing that those pesky background apps are no longer leeching away your battery life.
So the next time you’re out and about, you won’t have to worry about your battery dying prematurely. You can enjoy your favorite apps without that constant battery anxiety hanging over your head. Isn’t technology incredible?
Well, my friend, you’ve successfully taken control of your Galaxy S7 and showed those background apps who’s boss. Now go forth and make the most of your battery life!
If you’re using a Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 Edge with Android 7.0 Nougat and notice that it’s running slow and the battery is draining quickly, there might be too many apps running in the background. These apps, like email, social networking, and lifestyle apps, constantly search the internet for updates, which uses up a lot of battery and slows down your phone. To save battery life, it’s a better idea to manually update these apps yourself instead of letting them run in the background on your Galaxy S7 with Android Nougat 7.0.
