Today, many Android phones have a lot of memory, but not everyone wants to pay for them. Even if you do, you might be wondering which apps are consuming RAM. We’ll show you how to find the apps that use the most memory on Android.
How to find the apps that use the most memory on Android
First, we will need to enable Android’s hidden ‘Developer Options’. Some useful features are hidden here, including the ability to see which apps are using the most memory. Please delete it before continuing.
Then swipe down once or twice (depending on your phone) from the top of the screen to open the full Quick Settings menu, and then tap on the gear icon.
Scroll down to “System”.
Now select “Developer Options”.
Press “Memory” to view RAM usage statistics.
You will see “Average Memory Usage” at the top of the screen. Scroll down a bit more and select ‘Memory in use by apps’.
Here you will see the RAM usage of the applications. You can adjust the delay with the drop-down menu at the top of the screen.
Apps are ranked by how much memory they use, so the biggest spenders will be at the top of the list. “Android OS”, “Android System” and “Google Play Services” will always be active. Scroll down to find third party apps.
