Samsung Galaxy phones: disable battery‑draining features

Samsung Galaxy devices include several background functions that can noticeably reduce battery life. The Always On Display (AOD) keeps the screen lit with clock and notifications and can consume about 10‑15 % of the battery each day. Digital Wellbeing continuously records usage data, also drawing power. The Nearby Device Scanning feature constantly searches for nearby Samsung accessories, adding further drain. Users can turn off AOD via Settings → Advanced features → Motions and gestures → Double tap to turn on screen, disable Digital Wellbeing data access through Settings → Digital Wellbeing and parental controls → Data access, and switch off Nearby Device Scanning in the Bluetooth settings. Disabling these options can extend daily battery life by roughly 15‑20 %. The guidance applies to recent Samsung Galaxy models such as the S22+ and similar devices.
