Samsung Galaxy device owners may have noticed a significant slowdown in app performance recently. This issue was traced back to the May 2024 Google Play System update, which, while intended to enhance functionality and security for Android devices, inadvertently caused apps on Galaxy devices to open more slowly.

Acknowledging the problem on its Korean community forum, Samsung confirmed that the slowdown was particularly noticeable in devices that had been running for a long time without a reboot. The company translated statement read: “It has been confirmed that the app launch speed slows down when the device is used for a long time after updating the Google system software.” To address this, Samsung has rolled out a patch designed to rectify the slowdown.
