Google Play is full of task managers for
Android. These utilities can show you apps
running in the background, kill running apps,
and otherwise manage your apps — but you
don’t need to install any third-party software
to do this.
We’ll show you how to quickly and easily kill
and manage your running apps using only the
software included with your Android phone.
Third-party task managers are unnecessary
and many include harmful features, like task
killers.
Automatic Task Killing
Task managers and task killers are often one
and the same. A task killer promises to speed
up your phone by automatically killing apps
running in the background. It stays running in
the background, automatically removing apps
from memory when you’re done using them.
However, we’ve already explained why you
shouldn’t use a task killer on Android . In a
nutshell, Android doesn’t manage processes
like Windows does. Properly behaved apps
running in the background aren’t actually
doing anything — they’re just remaining in
memory and using no CPU or other resources.
When you access them again, they’ll quickly
open, as they’re waiting in memory for you to
return. If they were removed from memory,
they would take longer to re-open as their
data would have to be transferred from
system storage back into RAM — in this way,
a task killer can actually slow things down.
Android includes its own automatic task killer
— if its memory fills up and it needs more
memory for other reasons, it will automatically
kill running apps, removing them from
memory. You don’t have to install any
software to take advantage of this. For more information, visit - www.howtogeek.com/166140/you-dont-need-to-install-a-task-manager-how-to-manage-running-apps-on-android/
