Samsung is reportedly throttling thousands of apps and games on the Galaxy S22 range.
The Samsung Galaxy S22 and its siblings are among the most powerful phones on Earth, but they might not always seem like it, and there’s a reason for that – Samsung is reportedly throttling around 10,000 apps and games. This problem was reported by Twitter user @GaryeonHan and numerous South Korean users, who compiled a list of affected apps, and report that the issue is seemingly caused by performance limits put in place by Samsung’s Game Optimizing Service. Yet it’s not just games that are affected, with Netflix, TikTok, Google Keep, Instagram, and many other apps also on the list. The Game Optimizing Service seemingly does this to preserve battery life, but it can’t be disabled, and sneakily it doesn’t affect benchmarking apps – so they’ll report higher performance than you’re actually likely to get.
