First of all, it is important to know that you need to install the NetGuard application on your mobile phone. That’s because Samsung doesn’t offer the option to disable the Game Optimizing Service. Because of this, it is necessary to make use of it in other ways.

1. Open the NetGuard app and click on the three buttons in the upper right corner;
2. A small window will open. Click on the “Settings” option;
3. In the next window, click on the “Advanced Options” button;

5. Go back to the first part of the app. Use the search space and search for “Game Optimizing Service”. Then tap the network icons next to the name to disable it;
6. Return to the main application page and click the button next to the NetGuard logo. This will activate your most recent choices;
7. To disable Samsung’s Game Optimizing Service, it is necessary to ensure that the NetGuard app does not go into hibernation, otherwise it will disable itself. So, click “Ok” in the box that appears;

Is it worth disabling Samsung’s Game Optimizing Service?

After performing all the steps described above, the games on your Samsung smartphone will run at the maximum capacity that the device supports. This means that any performance restrictions will be ignored, ensuring smoother gameplay.

With that in mind, things like dropped frame rates, for example, should no longer occur. Gamers of the FPS, MOBA and fighting genres thank you.

On the other hand, by leaving NetGuard active in the background all the time, the battery should drain much faster. In addition, the temperature of the device may also increase significantly.

Anyway, my suggestion is that you make use of this alternative only in games that demand the best performance. Activate the app when you are playing and deactivate it as soon as you stop playing.

Overall, this option can be very interesting, but always be careful when using it.
