Global Power and Data Saving Mode

Your notifications arrive late because power and data saving settings limit app activity in the background.

To get real-time notifications again, turn off these three settings:

  1. Power saving mode
    • Go to ⁠Settings > Battery > Power saving
    • Turn the option off
  2. Battery optimization (Samsung)
    • Go to ⁠Settings > Device care > Battery > Background usage limits
    • Turn optimization off
  3. Data saver
    • Go to ⁠Settings > Connections > Data usage
    • Turn data saver off

You can quickly reach some of these settings from the quick settings panel by swiping down from the top of your screen:
