That doesn't look like a native Android feature. Any idea what phone that screenshot is from?

 

[lucianus_luciferus]

galaxy s8 i think

Device maintenance... Battery... Scroll down to bottom... Tap always sleeping apps.... There you can add the apps you want to sleep

 

[lucianus_luciferus]

hmm device maintenance, battery and scroll down but there i have "unmonitored apps"
strange
i swear i saw that always sleeping apps option somewhere

 

[B. Diddy]

Is there a search option in the Settings menu?

 

[lucianus_luciferus]

yes i have tried searching for always sleeping apps and also single words and combinations of these words but nothing.
the ony thing i found is something called inactive apps in developer options but i have no idea what it does
oh well thanks for your help guys

It's under the unmonitored apps on my devices...

 

[Tim1954]

Inactive apps can stop apps you don't use. I use that function to kill rarely used apps.. M

 

[lucianus_luciferus]

It's under the unmonitored apps on my devices...

odd... i don't have that. are you on android 7.0 as well?

 

[Tim1954]

Yes, on 7 here with unlocked version SMG950F...
Perhaps some regions don't get that? One would think the device maintenance would be the same accross all variations..

 

[lucianus_luciferus]

hmm maybe I should unlock mine. i have the unlock code from my carrier but i am afraid that unlocking it will break apps like banking apps or android/samsung pay

Just checked my S7, and it doesn't have it. It's unlocked and running Nougat too.
It's a great function, it puts apps to sleep soon as you close them. The reboot time is negligible and it saves noticeable amount of battery!! I love it!

Year, it saves a lot of battery charge. This is a great function!

 

[lucianus_luciferus]

i just saw the device maintenance app update itself and after checking again the always sleeping apps option is there

I have it on my S7 Edge too. Dual Sim version
