The company confirmed a software update will soon be released to the affected models, equipping an option to change the apps’ priority for Game Optimizing Service. Well, until then? No need to worry, we are here with a temporary solution to the apps throttling and GOS.
You may have tried to disable the Game Optimizing Service app alongside Game Launcher through device Settings but it won’t work at all. In order to disable the GOS effectively, you need to follow the steps given below that can be done by a third-party app called NetGuard.
How to disable Samsung GOS (apps throttling)
Simply, open Google Play Store, search NetGuard and download & install the app entitled “NetGuard – no-root firewall”.
Once done, open NetGuard, tap on the three dots to expand additional options and hit the Settings, followed by Advanced options.
From here, enable the NetGuard to list system apps by tapping on the toggle on top. Now, head return for the app’s home page and search “Game” by the in-app search tool.
Following the query, NetGuard will show you three services namely:
- Game Booster,
- Game Launcher, and
- Game Optimizing Service.
One by one, clear the apps’ data by opening their additional Storage settings inside the App info. Now, it’s time to ditch their network connectivity by Wi-Fi and Cellular by tapping on the toggles placed along with them.
Alright! Now, you need to go back from the search function and hit the main toggle to enable the NetGuard app by allowing needed permissions.
You can now see that NetGuard has disabled the internet connectivity of three apps related to the Games performance. Well, the procedure has not finished yet.
While the NetGuard is now forcing the Game apps trio to get the network connectivity, they will be able to do so again, once the user restarts the smartphone.
To wholly disable the GOS, you need to proceed with the same steps of Clear data, which is mentioned three paras above.
Everything is perfect now! Just follow this tricky step of rebooting the device after disconnecting it from Wi-Fi or cellular network so those three apps can be disconnected from Samsung’s server.
After restarting the phone without internet connectivity, open the NetGuard once again and tap the toggle to disable it and finally tap again to enable.
You can now even connect to the internet through Cellular or Wi-Fi, while the NetGuard notifier will show you the prompt blocking connectivity of three apps that are Game Booster, Game Launcher, and Game Optimizing Service.

Google Messages is getting a new look for its voice recorder UI. The microphone icon in the text field will change to a waveform icon, which is different from the voice typing button in Gboard.
Instead of holding down the mic to record, you will now see a panel with a start/stop button and options to cancel, delete, or attach the recording. You will also see a waveform and a timer while recording, and you can play back the recording before sending it.
The voice messages preview will also show a waveform between the play/pause button and the timer, making it more noticeable than the current straight line.
These changes are not widely available yet, but some users have reported seeing them on their phones. These new changes are part of a bigger redesign that Google is working on for Messages, which includes a revamped home screen that is still in beta testing. Google might announce new features soon.
