With One UI 6, Samsung has updated its interface and simplified several settings to make navigation clearer. However, some users have noticed that options related to the battery have disappeared or been moved, which can disrupt battery management and the customization of the mobile experience.
Why did Samsung decide to remove certain battery options in One UI 6?
One UI 6 introduces several changes in battery management. The removed options are not always permanently deleted: some have been grouped into other menus, while others have been replaced by more automated systems.
Possible reasons for this removal include:
- simplification of settings for non-expert users
- improvement of system security and stability
- adaptation to new methods of automatic energy management
- reduction of redundant options that could create confusion
Thus, certain options, such as the manual limitation mode of background app consumption or direct activation of certain battery-saving functions, are no longer directly accessible.
How to spot if an option has been moved or removed
Before concluding that the option has been removed:
- use the search bar in settings to type the exact name of the function
- explore the Battery and device care and Advanced settings menus
- consult the Samsung Members app or update notes to know the changes
This verification allows you to know if the function is really absent or simply relocated in One UI 6.
Alternatives to continue controlling battery life after the removal of certain options
Even if some options have disappeared, several solutions allow you to maintain precise control over energy consumption:
1. Use the built-in tools of One UI 6
- Battery and device care: this menu now centralizes most energy-saving settings and consumption reports
- Automatic app optimization: Samsung has enhanced the automatic management of background app consumption
- Detailed usage reports: display of the most consuming apps and the ability to limit their activity with one click
These tools effectively replace some removed manual options while simplifying energy management.
2. Activate smart battery-saving modes
One UI 6 offers several battery-saving modes:
- Standard saving mode: reduces performance to extend battery life
- Maximum saving mode: limits background apps and functions to achieve maximum battery life
- Custom mode: allows you to choose which apps remain active
Even if some individual options have been removed, these modes offer a global control over consumption.
3. Utilize official apps and complementary tools
- Samsung Members: offers tutorials to find certain functions or activate alternatives
- Good Lock and Battery Guardian or QuickStar modules: allow you to customize the interface and certain advanced functions
- Reliable third-party apps: some battery monitoring apps can provide advanced controls and alerts
These solutions help to replace the removed options while maintaining system security and stability.
What users need to know about battery life in One UI 6
With One UI 6, Samsung focuses on system automation and intelligence to manage the battery. Even if some options disappear:
- the system learns phone usage to optimize consumption
- the battery is protected against overcharging or consumption spikes
- performance remains suitable for games, browsing, and heavy apps
It is therefore possible to have comparable or better battery life than with One UI 5, despite the disappearance of some manual settings.
Tips for continuing to monitor and manage the battery effectively
- regularly check usage reports to detect resource-hungry apps
- activate saving modes suited to your usage
- update the system and apps to benefit from One UI 6 optimizations
- use Good Lock modules or Samsung Members to access certain advanced functions
These practices allow you to maintain control over the battery without relying on the removed options.
