How To Deactivate Samsung’s SPCM Service On Galaxy Devices

Samsung has made plethora of changes in the newest TouchWiz version on the latest devices like Galaxy S6, Note 4 and Note 5. One feature that is included is Samsung SPCM Service. But what is really Samsung’s SPCM service? It is a feature, if we can call like this that will help you to make your phone faster while you are still using it.

The main function of Samsung’s SPCM service is to kill all the apps running on background but only those apps you haven’t used for a period of time. So if you have used an app than you just press the home button to find and open another app and you do not open the first app for a period of time, it will be closed automatically by the system.

According to Samsung this is a neat feature that allows you to release the full power of your device but it’s not always helpful. You may need to let an app to run in background but if you do not open it often the system will close it automatically and this may not be helpful in every time. That’s why some people prefer to deactivate Samsung’s SPCM service.
