Above all, Android brings together several utilities in its operating system that allow users to have greater control over their well-being, storage and even memory. Discover some of the resources.
app timer
As much as there are apps that aim to limit the time spent on other programs, the Android operating system often comes with a feature that gives users the freedom to set a stipulated time. As a result, activation is valuable for anyone who is spending more time on certain apps than they should.
To activate:
Enter the settings; Look for the “Digital Wellbeing” tab; Click on “Application Timers”; Choose your app and set the time to be spent; Ready.
Background data restriction
Have you ever stopped to think about how it is possible to receive notifications on your WhatsApp or another social network without even opening it?
The explanation lies in the performance of the application in the background. It turns out that some others not so relevant, to notify advertisements or something like that, also work in the background. Therefore, limiting its use in the background allows you to extend your battery life.
To activate:
Open the settings; Look for “Device and Battery Assistance” Click on “Battery” Proceed to “Background Usage Limits” Carefully select which apps you want to suspend. Read the feature descriptions for better interpretation. Ready!
Similarly, it is possible to suspend apps that are not used very often.
Keep in mind that you should only disable certain apps that don’t need to update or notify in the background.
Therefore, do not put your WhatsApp in the background, in case of deactivation, you will only receive the notification when entering the application and you will not know when someone sends you in real time.
RAM More
The RAM Plus feature works as a virtual addition of RAM memory. In short, RAM memory is an essential component to allow multiple applications to run simultaneously efficiently.
In this feature, RAM Plus uses your phone’s storage space to provide virtual memory. By selecting more virtual memory, you’ll be able to keep more apps open in the background, in theory.
On the other hand, as mentioned, the higher the value, the more storage space on your phone will be used. So if your photo gallery is already full of media, it’s not a good idea to turn on the RAM Plus feature unless your phone’s performance is compromised with multiple apps open.
To activate:
Open the settings; Access, again, “Device and battery assistance”; Click on “Memory”; Go down the screen and enter RAM Plus Select the desired value between 2, 4 and 6 GB. Feature can be disabled at any time; Ready.
Finally, it’s important to note that users need to find a balance between the amount of virtual memory they want and the storage space they need.
