These type of apps were useful 4-5 years before when Android had Kitkat running as its latest OS. At that time, Android wasn’t good at managing its system efficiently. But now as of today, the devices are running Marshmallow and Nougat. The apps mentioned below will only cause trouble and make the system unstable. They were sure helpful in the past but now they are nothing but history.

5 Types Of App You Should Stop Using Now

1. Battery Saver Apps

None of the battery saver apps available in the Google Play Store are any good for our devices. Why? Well, the main reason they don’t do what they say. Battery saver apps will only drain your phone’s battery more by running in the background. Moreover, they will consume RAM and make the system a whole lot slower especially if you are running a low-end processor under the hood.
Let me actually tell you what battery saver apps do to boost our device’s battery life. The answer is nothing. The reason is simple they start to kill apps running in the background to prevent battery consumption. However, the point is useless because the apps will automatically reopen anyway. See that is how the Android system works. The only way to increase battery life is to decrease the demand for energy by the Android OS and all the apps and services running in the background. This is impossible especially if you have no technical knowledge on how the Android system functions. Plus it will require root access.
So here is the question, is there any way to increase battery life? Well, possible solutions include removing battery savers and keeping the apps that you really use. Uninstall the apps that you don’t need, this will surely spare you some extra battery life.

2. RAM Clearing Apps

Like battery savers, these apps are useless too. They not only consume RAM by running in the background but they also impact the battery life. This leads to slower performance and frustration. RAM clearing apps Force Stop the apps and services running in the background which again will reopen. This consumes RAM as well as battery and makes the OS unstable. If you are a user who loves to do multitasking then you should uninstall these types of apps right away. Android is efficient in managing itself and knows what apps and services to run in the background.


3. Cleaner Apps

Cleaner apps are the only types of apps that work. However, you should make your choice correctly. Cleaner apps like Clean Master offer much more useless features other than cleaning. Not to mention the advertisements that can increase your data usage without a warning.
A Cleaner app is meant to clean cache. This can be beneficial if done once in a month but not more frequently than that. For example, let’s say you have a huge collection of pictures in Google Photos. They are all backed up in the cloud. Now open the app and scroll down. You will find that the pictures will be loading. After the photos have loaded, close the app. Open it again and scroll down. This time the pictures will load instantly. This is because of cache. Cache is basically an auxiliary memory through which high-speed data retrieval is possible. Now, reopen the app and scroll down but this time first clear the cache using your cleaner app. The pictures will take more time to load this time.
The above was an example related to Google Photos but actually, every app has some dedicated cache memory through which data can be accessed at high speed. CCleaner is the best app for clearing cache available in the Google Play Store. It is free and gets the job done neatly.



4. Antivirus Apps

Unlike PC our Android device is a lot more safe and secure. Thanks to the developers at Google. Antivirus apps are useless as apps are generally downloaded from the Play Store. Google Play Store is a completely safe place to download the apps from.
Antivirus apps are only useful if one often downloads apps from external links that, is, other than the Google Play Store. Therefore, antivirus apps will be simply sitting in the app drawer, running in the background consuming both RAM and battery.

5. Bloatware

Now, these apps can be of various types and I know not all of them can be uninstalled. However, they can be disabled. Open App Drawer» Settings» Apps» 3 Dots» Show System» Bloatware App» Disable/Uninstall. The only reason to do this is that sometimes the manufacturer provides their own music or messaging app. However, we want to use something different. In this case, the pre-installed app will become a bloatware and just sit in the app drawer. Therefore, it is fine to disable them. Disabling an app will prevent it from consuming the battery and the RAM.

Nicely written. All of the above is true. Only newbies get freaked out by these apps. Well, anti virus is really helpful if and only if you install apps outside Playstore. So this article is 100000% accurate for geeks

dont mind Osas1507.....let him continue using clean master

If I read this write-up when I newly bought my android phone, I would have called for the OP's head and called him names but since I got to realize that most of these battery saving bullcrap are the ones responsible for draining your battery and RAM, I practically uninstalled almost everything.

Thanks for this piece anyway even though I know many ignorance people will fault this well-thought write-up

Very informative... Although I don't hv the listed apps on my phone.. Nice one op

I think antivirus apps are important, unless you're not considering transferred files and files downloaded from malicious websites.

When I first bought my phone...I pack all these apps full everywhere..... Now I barely have 2 pages of apps cos they all just consume space and make the damn phone slower

I only keep necessary apps

nice info

Just get an iPhone n save urself all these stress

Well cleaner does work for me

D most important app I've always considered is Es Explorer, didn't bother myself with loading junks on my fone in d name of apps..

Malwarebytes is probably the only app that would fish out those hopeless trojan infested adwares

Most of this copy and paste posts are useless. Antivirus is very important for an android OS.
There are many things to do online than downloading apps from play store.


Also clean master does more than cleaning rams. I use clean master to back up apps
