Dear Samsung Support,

I’m writing this out of sheer frustration. After updating my Galaxy S22 Plus to One UI 7, the battery life has taken a nosedive. It’s absolutely ridiculous how quickly the battery drains now – even with minimal use and all background apps restricted. This is not what I paid a premium for.

Before the update, the phone easily lasted a full day. Now? I’m scrambling for a charger by mid-afternoon. What exactly did you do in this update that wrecked battery performance so badly?

Your customers are not beta testers, and we certainly don’t expect a “flagship” device to be crippled by your so-called updates. This isn’t the first time an update has caused issues, and frankly, it's unacceptable.

I demand that Samsung looks into this issue immediately and rolls out a fix without delay. You need to stop pushing poorly optimized updates that compromise the core usability of your devices.

Fix this battery drain issue ASAP. We, your paying customers, deserve better.

Sincerely,
Somdeep Gangopadhyay

Yes, many users have reported experiencing similar problems. This can be due to the phone re-optimizing itself after the update or apps needing to be optimized for the new firmware.
Add apps to the "deep sleep" list to prevent them from running in the background and draining battery.

Clear app cache to remove temporary data that can impact performance and battery usage.
Resetting battery statistics can sometimes help.

Adjust background usage limits in Settings > Battery and device care > Battery > Background usage limits.

Choose options like "Put unused apps to sleep" or "Sleeping apps" to restrict background activity.
