Your device speed may also increase for a short while. Clearing RAM will not harm your device.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you clear your device RAM, the data and storage used by applications which are not in use are released.

If your device has a higher amount of RAM, you typically shouldn&rsquo;t clear RAM manually as Android is able to efficiently manage RAM and processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each application requires a certain amount of memory to start up safely. Your device automatically clears the unnecessary data whenever you launch an application to provide this memory storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These applications reserve the RAM space allocated to their start-up to run in the background and speed up the restarting process. The device releases this memory data whenever you turn off these applications from the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should clear the RAM if an application is using background data unnecessarily and affecting the device performance.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-check-ram-in-an-android-phone\">How to check RAM in an Android phone?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p><strong>You can check the RAM in an Android phone through the &ldquo;Device info&rdquo; settings menu.

A background app may also use more memory than normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RAM clears itself up whenever new processes start and are allocated memory space. If many processes are running at the same time, RAM may not be able to clear itself as all the processes need memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your device has low RAM e.g. 2 to 4GB, your phone RAM will fill up and your device may start having issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See also: <a href=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/why-is-my-phone-storage-full-after-deleting-everything\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Why Is My Phone Storage Full After Deleting Everything?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can free up RAM on Android by clearing unnecessary processes and background apps, either manually or using a&nbsp; third-party app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the RAM automatically frees itself up for new processes, you can also free up RAM manually by limiting background applications and killing unnecessary processes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See section &ldquo;How do I clear RAM manually in Android?&rdquo; above for more about clear RAM manually.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"does-deleting-apps-free-ram\">Does deleting apps free RAM?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Deleting apps frees up RAM capacity as all the app&rsquo;s data, cache, and processes are also removed from the device along with it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unused apps search for updates regularly, which creates overhead on the RAM. That RAM is released if you uninstall the unused applications<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It may take a short while for the device to clear up the RAM for an uninstalled app. Once you delete an app, all of its allocated resources (RAM and storage) are also released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See also: <br><a href=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/is-it-bad-to-uninstall-apps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Is It Bad To Uninstall Apps?<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/how-do-you-delete-recent-apps-on-android\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How Do You Delete Recent Apps On Android?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your mobile&rsquo;s RAM (Random Access Memory) is constantly in use to run background and foreground applications.
