- The function will show you how to to scale back battery degradation over ime.
We’ve seen a slew of Samsung One UI 6.1 options leak in latest weeks, however you won’t want to attend for this new software program replace to get one rumored addition.
X person Sabarinath Panikken (h/t: Tarun Vats) discovered that One UI 6.1’s Superior Battery Safety function already exists within the present One UI 6 software program. You’ll must obtain an exercise launcher app from the Play Retailer, after which seek for “batterypro” or “batteryprotectionactivity” to disclose it.
We had been certainly in a position to entry this function on a Galaxy S23 Extremely operating One UI 6. Nonetheless, the function doesn’t truly work proper now, utilizing the legacy Battery Shield setting as an alternative. Take a look at our screenshots beneath.
Superior Battery Safety differs from Samsung’s present Shield Battery function by providing extra management over your smartphone’s charging. The present function solely permits your telephone to hit 85% capability when charging.
In the meantime, the One UI 6.1 function provides three distinct charging choices for extra flexibility. The essential choice prices your telephone to 100% and solely continues charging when your telephone drops to 95% capability. The adaptive choice is just like different good charging options, pausing at 80% after which hitting 100% simply earlier than you get up.

Both approach, it appears to be like like Superior Battery Safety gained’t be restricted to the Galaxy S24 sequence. So when you’ve obtained an older Galaxy telephone and are apprehensive about battery well being, this function shall be for you.
