Are your Android apps continuously optimizing, causing frustration and inconvenience? This issue can often be solved by adjusting settings related to battery optimization and app management. Follow the steps below to manage or stop your Android phone from optimizing apps excessively.

1. Disable Battery Optimization

If you suspect that battery optimization is the cause, follow these steps:

Open Settings Go to the Battery section Find and tap “Battery optimization” or “App battery saver.” Select the apps you want to exclude from optimization. Set them to “Don’t optimize.”

2. Uninstall or Disable Problematic Apps

For specific apps causing frequent optimizations, try these steps:

Go to Settings Tap on “Apps” or “Apps notifications.” Find and select the problematic app. You can either uninstall it or disable it if it’s a system app.

3. Clear Cache and Data

Clearing the cache and data of an app might help:

Open Settings Go to the Apps section Find the app causing issues. Tap on “Storage.” Select “Clear Cache” and “Clear Data.”

4. Update Your Software

Ensure your device is running the latest software for optimal performance:

Open Settings Go to “About phone” Check for updates and install any available.

5. Reset App Preferences

If the problem persists, you can reset app preferences:

Open Settings Go to the Apps section Tap the three dots or more in the top right corner. Select “Reset app preferences” to reset all app preferences.

6. Factory Reset as a Last Resort

If none of the above solutions work, consider a factory reset, but back up your data first:
