S Suggest — что это за программа и нужна ли она на телефоне? (Samsung)
S Suggest — фирменное приложение (виджет) для рабочего стола, отображающее рекомендованные/популярные программы, которые гарантированно совместимы с используемой моделью смартфона.
На самом деле компания Самсунг давно уже прекратила поддержку S Suggest — еще в далеком 2014 году. Вот только было продано телефонов того года и старее, которые до сих пор работают, а значит люди пользуются S Suggest. Поэтому компания эту программу не забросила.
Smart suggestion – что это такое?
При приобретении нового мобильного телефона каждый старается настроить его функционал на свое усмотрение. В любом смартфоне изначально уже установлены различные программы, предусмотренные разработчиком. Однако не все из них полезны и подходят каждому пользователю, а некоторые и вовсе тормозят систему телефона.
При перезагрузке мобильного устройства встречается уведомление о запуске такого приложения, как Smart suggestion, и о нем мало что известно. В данной статье постараемся исправить эту ситуацию и объяснить, для чего оно нужно.

Smart suggestion – что это за процесс?
Много вопросов у владельцев телефонов появляется из-за того, что приложение Smart suggestion не имеет никакого интерфейса. Этот процесс не подвергается запуску или удалению вручную, также его нельзя никак настроить. На экране появляется лишь уведомление о его запуске.

Отключение Smart suggestion
Если же удаление программы «Советы» вы делать не хотите, то попробуйте просто отключить отображение уведомлений. Для этого проделайте следующие действия:
1. В меню главных параметров нажмите на значок настроек.
2. Зайдите в категорию «Приложения».
3. Раскройте содержимое, нажав на кнопку «Все» в самом верху и в списке отыщите «Smart suggestion».
4. На выбор будет два действия – «Остановить» и «Удалить», в первом случае уведомления прекратятся, однако после перезагрузки появятся вновь, а во втором случае вы навсегда избавитесь от ненужных сообщений, перегружающих операционную систему.

Примечательно, что удаление или изменение системных файлов телефона все же может привести к поломке гаджета. Шанс очень небольшой, но все же его стоит принимать в расчет. При самом благоприятном исходе вы позже сможете восстановить настройки мобильного телефона, воспользовавшись функцией Recovery.

Samsung's One UI software has evolved a lot over the years, and it has played a huge role in shaping the experience of modern Samsung phones. One UI's customizations and additional features on top of Android make it stand out from the rest, and I also like how the company is constantly adding new features and improving the existing ones. One such feature that has improved over the last couple of updates is Samsung's smart suggestions.
Samsung's smart suggestions are one of those features that help you streamline your day, and it's worth checking out if you're using one of the modern Samsung phones with the latest One UI software. If you're new to One UI and you've never heard of the smart suggestions feature before, then you've come to the right place. Let's take a look at what smart suggestions are, and you can use them on Samsung devices.
What are smart suggestions?
Samsung's OneUI software can analyze and understand your smartphone usage patterns and recommend applications and actions to you in the form of smart suggestions. Sounds familiar? Well, that's because it works about the same way that Apple's Siri Suggestions work. They both essentially predict what you want to do and make smart suggestions to help you streamline your experience. Smart suggestions have been a part of One UI for quite some time now. We got a taste of this feature with the One UI 4.0 rollout when it made its way to modern Samsung flagships in a fairly limited capacity, but it's better now, especially after the One UI 5.0 and 5.1 rollouts. They're still not as popular or prominent as some other One UI features or even the Bixby Routines, so I won't be surprised if this is your first time hearing about smart suggestions.
How to enable smart suggestions?
Here's how you can enable smart suggestions on your Samsung phone running on One UI 4.0 or above:
Samsung One UI 5.0 Smart Suggestions Widget

At present, Samsung is testing the Android 13-based One UI 5.0 software on the Galaxy S22 series devices. Earlier this month, the South Korean tech giant seeded the first One UI 5.0 Beta with new features and changes, however, the second Beta debuted an additional feature called “Smart Suggestions Widget.”
As mentioned in the One UI 5.0 Beta 2’s release notes, the Smart Suggestions Widget feature is a widget that suggests useful apps or features have been added. You can add Smart Suggestions Widget easily on your homescreen through a short guide mentioned below.

So finally, you’ve added the One UI 5.0’s Smart Suggestions Widget on your Galaxy phone’s homescreen. In case you are not seeing any app inside the widget area, firstly, you will be needing to enable the Smart Suggestions feature through the system Settings.
With the use of One UI 4.1’s Smart Suggestions feature, the One UI 5.0 software presents 8 apps inside the widget on your homescreen. If you tap and hold anywhere on the widget area, additional settings will appear, letting you create a Stack Widget and remove it as well.

It’s worth mentioning that you can’t select which apps will be shown in the Widget area as it wholly works on your activities and data gathered by Smart Suggestions. By default, the Smart Suggestions Widget manages a form factor of 4×2 apps, however, you can change it to 4×1 as well.
