We're sorry to hear that you're experiencing faster battery drain on your Galaxy S23 following the One UI 7 update.
After major software updates, the system may take some time (typically a few days) to optimize apps and background processes, which can temporarily affect battery life. However, if the issue continues, here are a few suggestions you can try:
Review app activity. Go to Settings > Battery > Usage since last full charge to check if any apps are consuming more power than usual. Consider limiting background activity for those apps.
Put unused apps to sleep. Settings > Battery > Background usage limits > Enable Put unused apps to sleep.
Disable Always On Display and Location Services. If not essential, turning off Always On Display and GPS when not in use can help conserve battery.
Use Power Saving Mode. Settings > Battery > Power saving: You can customize this mode to suit your needs without losing full functionality.
Check for app updates. Make sure your apps are updated via the Galaxy Store and Play Store, as some may not be fully optimized for One UI 7 yet.
Wipe cache partition. Power off the device > Press and hold Volume Up + Power > In Recovery Mode, select Wipe cache partition (use volume keys to navigate and power button to select). (No data will be lost.)
If the battery drain persists, please submit an error report through the Samsung Members app:
Samsung Members > Support > Send feedback > Error reports > Battery
Our team will analyze the logs and work to improve performance in upcoming updates. We truly appreciate your patience and feedback.
