- Samsung is purportedly throttling the performance of 10,000 apps on its phones.
- It’s believed that the company’s Game Optimizing Service app is to blame.
We’ve seen several cases over the years of smartphone manufacturers limiting the performance of a select number of apps, ostensibly in order to claw back battery life. Now, it looks like Samsung might be doing the same.
Twitter user GaryeonHan and Korean netizens have posted a list of 10,000 apps (accessible here) that are apparently subjected to “performance limits” as part of Samsung’s Game Optimizing Service (GOS). The company’s Korean Community forum is also inundated with pages and pages of complaints from users as a result.
