The allegation that it deliberately slowed down 10 thousand applications and games, including Instagram, Netflix, TikTok, with the Game Optimization Service (GOS) software on Samsung, Galaxy S22 and other smartphones fell like a bombshell. .
Samsung, which became the focus of reactions after the incident was noticed and exposed on social media and various forum sites, implicitly accepted the allegations. The company announced that it will fix the issue that causes the Game Optimization Service to reduce the performance of applications. The expected update has arrived.
Samsung Galaxy S22 users will be able to disable the restriction
Samsung has released a new update for the Galaxy S22 series in South Korea. Added “Game Performance Management Mode” to Game Booster, which caused more than 10 thousand applications to slow down. Thanks to this mode, users will be able to optionally disable the optimization service on their phones.
Since optimization will not be performed after disabling, the performance of applications and games installed on the device will not decrease. For those who don’t know exactly: Game Optimization Service reduces the performance of applications to a certain level, preventing the phone from overheating and increasing battery life.
When the service is not working, the possibility that the battery life of the phone may decrease and it may become hotter than before comes to mind. Samsung has released the Game Performance Management Mode for Galaxy S22 users in South Korea right now. While it is not known when it will be released worldwide, there is no concrete information about whether it will come to other devices other than the Galaxy S series.
Applications affected by Game Optimization Service (GOS) include 3DMark, There are no performance benchmarking platforms like AnTuTu, PCMark, and Geekbench. Due to this confusing situation, Geekbench has decided to exclude the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S21, Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S10 series smartphones from the benchmark list.
