HOW TO REDUCE MEMORY USAGE ON ANDROID

 

When you run out of available memory, your phone will slow down, drain its battery more quickly, and put a limit on how much you can do with it. By clearing excess and unneeded data from your cellular phone, you can save a ton of your phone's memory and make it more usable

  1. Step 1 Find the apps that are using the most memory.
     You can check your phone's status to see how much memory (RAM) is currently being used, and which apps use the most. Note that RAM is meant to be used, so having just a little unused RAM available is not a bad thing. Android will attempt to keep the majority of your free RAM in use, as this is the most effective usage of it.
    • Open the Settings app on your device.
    • Scroll down and tap "About phone."
    • Tap the "Memory" option. This will display some basic details about your phone's memory usage.
    • Tap the "Memory used by apps" button. This will display the apps that use the most RAM.
  2. Step 2 Delete old apps.
     Deleting unused apps will help increase the amount of free space your Android has, as well as free up RAM if the apps ran in the background a lot. Both free storage space and free RAM will help improve your Android's performance. Apps you've purchased or got for free can be downloaded again at any time from the Google Play Store.[1]
    • Open the Settings app on your device.
    • Select "Apps" or "Application manager."
    • Scroll through the list of apps to find apps you no longer use.
    • Tap an app and then tap "Uninstall" to remove it. This will delete the app from your device. If there is no "Uninstall" button, then the app was packaged with your device and cannot be removed.
  3. Step 3 Disable apps that you don't use and can't uninstall.
     Many Android devices come with tons of apps preinstalled that run in the background and take up system resources. Since these apps cannot be uninstalled without rooting your device, you can disable them instead. You won't get the storage space back, but they won't run anymore.[2]
    • Open the Settings app on your device.
    • Select "Apps" or "Application manager."
    • Find the app you want to disable. These are often carrier apps or packaged apps that you didn't install yourself.
    • Tap "Uninstall updates" if available. You'll have to do this before you are given the option to disable the app.
    • Tap "Disable." This will turn the app off and prevent it from running.[3]
