Does greenify app help extended the battery life?

[Punyawee Werasopon]

Whos's already tried greenify the hibernate the background-running apps.? Does it work? I concern about the battery life. G3 can run along all day to the evening with the normal use. But somedays I have to use a lot of work on it and it has not enough juice. Will greenify help extending the battery life? And please share the selected app you choosed to hibernate.

Yes! I have been using it on my galaxy tablet and phone for about 6 months and it really works. For me it almost doubled my battery life.

This is very interesting. You'd think the device manufacturers would pay the developers to use this and similar apps as stock apps if they're that good at improving battery life.

Greenify protects you from bad developers who don't spend the time making sure their app properly handles life cycle

Kingsway is exactly right. I still can't believe how much it truly helps, but if you think about logistics of how it works, it just makes sense.

I must be dumb. Does Greenify just automatically run after you install it or do you have to activate it someway? If you have to activate it, how do you do it? I am rooted.

I have read some reviews of the greenify app. The later version of greenify can run on non-rooted phone but you have to manually hit the hibernate shortcut to start the selected apps every time you are going to idle the phone.
If your phone's rooted, greenify will work automatically itself. Just install, select apps, and forget it.

I have been using greenify for about 4 years now and it helps to a point.
There are other system related things going on that greenify can't help and it turn keeps "greenifying" apps.
Receivers of apps will have them restart when the receiver is triggered by something.
Try "Autostarts" it will show all receivers an app has and you can disable them on a per app basis.
This in combination with greenify will help with battery drain.
Also "google services" causes extreme battery drain since its always running, disable it when you don't need it and enable it when you do need it.
