Ratings and reviews

I missed 2 EMERGENCY WARNINGS. The call went to voice mail. That's more than invasive, That's dangerous. This happened after the 7/25 update. Removed several contacts from phone app, removed permitted callers when Do Not Disturb enabled. Deleted EMERGENCY CONTACT. This was after the 7/25 update. Started not hearing alarms. Samsung replaced my clock app and changed ring tones and alerts. Can't delete this or Device Care app, tied to phone function and contacts. Allowed to install unknown app

I swear, this app's favourite phrase is "Keep your phone running smoothly." since nearly ALL notifications, have this message in one way or another. Leaves notifications about my phone needing to be "optimised" despite it already being optimised and running fast. Wish I can disable notifications from this app.

Using this triggers all apps that "run at startup". Any app you turned OFF "allow to use battery in background" automatically turns back on! It sucks going through each app's phone settings to optimize them, but it's a pretty solid "one and done"! Afterwards, periodically clearing cache for apps you use often works well. [I have a Samsung phone.] I'm sure there are apps you can pay for that do a great job. I am not a professional. Always do your own research! :)
