What is Game Booster and how do I use it?

No matter what type of game you're playing, Game Booster has been designed to make it even better. By monitoring how the game runs on your device and your usage, Game Booster uses data about the temperature and memory to automatically adjust your settings to give you the best experience. 

 

Game Booster can also help you keep all of your focus on the game you're playing. While you're gaming you can disable Bixby and the Edge panel and even hide notifications to ensure that you get that high score.
