Even if you aren’t too tech savvy, most of us know that the RAM of your device dictates how fast it can manage multi-tasking. Similar to a computer, your Android’s RAM is crucial in keeping your device fast and fluidic even with loads of apps running in the background. The introduction of Memory Manager in Android Marshmallow finally gives you the ability to take charge of your device.
The Memory Manager in Android Marshmallow gives you an indicator for the average RAM used by installed apps. It also highlights overall available RAM capacity, performance rating and average memory used by the device.
The tab gives you a breakdown of the amount of MB used by each app in descending order, giving you the idea of what app eats away at your RAM. You can also tap on the individual apps to see the frequency at which the apps run and the maximum RAM usage of the apps.
Note: Most Android Marshmallow devices come with more RAM than the device apps can possibly run out of. However, you can always monitor the Memory Manager if your Android device seems to appear sluggish at times.Do you like the in-depth Memory Manager in Android Marshmallow for managing your system RAM, or is this the first time you have even bothered to know about it?
