If you own the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, you may have noticed that you occasionally miss notifications from certain applications that you don’t use that often. While we can all do without all the constant notifications from games and apps that are simply nudging us to use them more often, a missed message or video call notification is a bit more serious.
Unfortunately, to help save battery life on the Galaxy S22 Ultra, Samsung has implemented a feature that puts apps to sleep and blocks them from sending notifications or delays those notifications until the phone devices to bring those apps out of sleep mode every few hours.
“Apps that were using your battery in the background have been put to sleep to extend your battery life. Sleeping apps may not receive updates or send you notifications, but they’ll wake as soon as you use them again.”
This feature’s main purpose is intended to improve better battery life, but it also hinders the functionality of the apps you have installed on your phone and is often the reason why applications are often blocked from showing important notifications that you rely on.
Fortunately, Samsung does allow you to tweak its app sleeping feature or completely disable it. Follow the instruction below to manage which apps your Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra puts to sleep or turn the feature off so that you never miss another important notification.
