Keeping this feature on will prompt your device to automatically put apps that are not in use to sleep mode, and thereby stop them from consuming power.
Different Sleeping App Categories
There’s also an option for you to manually segregate unused apps and group them to the Sleeping apps, Deep Sleeping apps, or Never Sleeping apps category.
- Sleeping apps are all apps that are currently sleeping but may still run in the background when triggered or used again.
- Deep sleeping apps are all apps that will never run in the background and only work when you launch/open them on your phone.
- Never sleeping apps are all apps that will never sleep or turn off in the background and thereby always ready for use.
To manually add individual apps to the Sleeping apps category, tap Sleeping apps then tap the Plus (+) sign on the top-right corner of the next screen. Select the app(s) then tap Add to put the selected app(s) in the Sleeping app category.
You can also remove a certain app from the Sleeping apps category. To do this, simply tap on the three dots located on the top-rightmost corner then tap Remove. Select the app(s) that you’d like to delete from the list then tap Remove to confirm.
Follow the same steps to manually add or delete app(s) to/from the other Categories like Deep sleeping and Never sleeping apps.
And that’s all about limiting unused apps power usage on the Galaxy Z Flip 4 smartphone by putting them all to sleep.
