The Samsung Keyboard App could be draining your Galaxy Smartphone's battery.
Before Samsung confirmed the issue, many users thought the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S21 were the only models affected by the battery drain problem.
However, it turns out that the Samsung Galaxy smartphones running the latest One UI 5.1 are also affected. These include the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and the Galaxy Z Fold 3.

According to Sam Mobile's latest report, Samsung confirmed that the Keyboard App causes the battery drain issue on the One UI 5.1 version.
A Samsung support agent shared this detail in a Samsung community forum for Thailand. "We have confirmed that the keyboard app Samsung included in the latest version (One UI 5.1) has increased battery usage," explained the employee.
The Samsung staff explained that Galaxy smartphones running One UI should update their Keyboard App to the latest version (v 5.6.10.31).
He added that the application's additional features, such as stickers and emojis, consume more energy than usual.
