Samsung recently had a share of the negative limelight when it was found that the company is throttling thousands of apps on its Galaxy S22 smartphones. The company responded and acknowledged the wrongdoing and revealed that it will soon release an update to resolve the issue. And Samsung has delivered on its promise as it has started rolling out the said update to some Galaxy S22 users.
It is reported that several Galaxy S22 series phone users have started receiving a new update that brings the Game Performance Management Mode to the Game Optimization Service (GOS) app. This mode will help users restrain the throttling of apps on their devices, of course, while compromising on the battery life. The update also introduces CPU and GPU performance improvements.
To recall, the GOS app on the Galaxy S22 was found throttling the performance of over 10,000 popular non-gaming apps such as TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, and even Samsung’s own native apps. However, Geekbench apps were left out of the list. This was tested on the 3DMark app’s real and fake versions, and the result showed how Samsung was manipulating the benchmark scores.
