Samsung users were left with a bad taste in their mouths following the release of the One UI 5.1 upgrade in February of this year. While the update brought with it some exciting features, many Galaxy handset owners experienced a major issue with their devices’ battery health. Reports started coming in from users who had updated to One UI 5.1 and had noticed a significant decline in their smartphones’ battery life. Some even reported odd heating issues that were more widespread among Samsung Galaxy S21 and S22 series users.
Upon investigation, Samsung confirmed that it was indeed the Samsung Keyboard app that was causing the battery drain. According to the company, the app was using more battery than usual due to an “additional qualifying process (related to stickers and emojis).” While the exact details of this process remain unclear, Samsung has rolled out an update to address the issue.
For those who haven’t yet received the update, fear not. Samsung apps have an auto-update feature that keeps them up to date automatically. If you suspect that your Samsung Keyboard app isn’t up to date, simply head over to the Galaxy Store, navigate to Menu, select Updates, choose Samsung Keyboard, go to Settings, click About Samsung Keyboard, and tap on Update. With this simple fix, you can enjoy the benefits of One UI 5.1 without worrying about your device’s battery health.
