I know how frustrating it is to deal with a slow Android phone. Your apps take forever to load, animations stutter, the screen freezes randomly, and your phone might even overheat. I have been there too. Usually, most folks either blame their hardware or think it’s due to a software update (sometimes, we even blame updates for slowing things down). It’s actually some of the apps that you use every day. Of course, modern smartphones have smarter memory management. They can automatically take care of the running apps. You don’t have to close apps on your phone. However, some apps go far beyond. They keep working even if you aren’t using them. Some apps may run background services and constantly sync data, which puts extra pressure on your phone.
