How To Stop Apps From Running In The Background On Android
Brand new phones are a wondrous thing, but
over time your shiny new phones slows down and becomes sluggish.
Switching between apps becomes a frustrating experience and your
battery won`t get you through a day.
If this sounds familiar, there are a few things you can do to take
back control of your device and inprove the situation, and one of
the easiest things to do is get control of your apps running in the background.
Control your background processes
The best way to gain control of your processes is to have a big
around under the hood using the monitoring tools built into android.
Exactly how this process screen looks, how you access it and what
It`s called will vary depending on which company made the device and what
Version of android you`re using.
In some cases, before you can start, you need
enable developer options.
In versions of android before marshmallow, this involves going
to settings> about and then tapping build number about seven or so times.
You`ll get a notification telling you that developer options have been
unlocked once you`re done and you can stop tapping.
For many handsets, the next thing you need to look for is a setting> developer options> processes.
That option takes you to a list of running processes showing how much ram each is using.
Obviously. it`ll be tempting to stop the most ram hungry apps from running in the
background, but you`ll want to pay some attention to what you`re
Stopping before you go ahead.
Stopping some apps might crash your phone.
If you`re using a recent samsung phone, like the s7 edge, you`ll
Want to head to settings> developer options>running services to find
the list of apps using ram.
You can also tap the settings option when in the services/processes menu to switch between running processes and cached processes.
