TL;DR
  • Samsung’s Smart Manager app has received a hefty update for One UI 8.5.
  • The update brings features such as native app lock, the ability to restore apps to their previous state after a crash, and more.
  • Unfortunately, the Smart Manager app is restricted to China, while global users get the Device Care menu.

Samsung phones in global markets have the Device Care menu, which is a one-stop hub for maintaining your phone. However, Chinese users have the Smart Manager app, and it will receive some new features as part of the upcoming One UI 8.5 update.

GalaxyTechie on Twitter (h/t: SammyGuru) spotted these Smart Manager additions and highlighted them. Some of the most notable new features include native app lock functionality, app state restoration, and sleep standby optimization.
