If apps have been opening slowly on your Galaxy phone or tablet lately, you’re not alone. Fortunately, Samsung has found a fix, and it is rather simple.

Last month, Google released the May 2024 Play System update for Android.

However, it was after this update that apps on Galaxy devices started slowing down significantly.
