Smartphone Apps: Nowadays, many people close all apps at once to save battery or give the processor a break. They think that removing apps from the background will make the phone run faster and the battery last longer. But the truth is quite the opposite. Closing the wrong apps can cause further damage to your phone. Let's learn which apps are safe to close and which should never be touched.

Should every app really be closed?

Most people think that removing apps from the background frees up RAM and makes the phone run faster. However, modern smartphones are designed in such a way that RAM usage is a factor in their performance. Closing and reopening an app each time consumes more processing and battery. This puts additional load on the processor and drains the battery faster.

System Apps

Closing system apps like Settings, Dialer, Messages, Google Play Services, and the Security app can cause the phone to hang, lag, and experience network errors. The phone's processor repeatedly restarts them, increasing the load on the device.

WhatsApp, Telegram, Banking Apps

These apps rely on notifications. Forcibly closing them prevents messages, OTPs, and important alerts from arriving on time. Repeatedly restarting them drains the battery even more.

Launcher and UI Apps

Closing the Launcher or System UI can cause the phone to crash. The screen may go black, and the phone will reboot repeatedly.

Which apps are beneficial to close?

Heavy games and high-processing apps like PUBG, Genshin Impact, video editors, or 3D apps. Leaving these apps open in the background after a game increases the load on RAM and CPU. Also, avoid photo editing, shopping, or travel apps that you rarely open.

Optimize your phone properly.

Keep battery saving mode on.

Turn off auto-start (only for non-essential apps).

Check app permissions and background data.

Force-stop apps only when necessary.
