Our mobile would not be great things without the applications. All the software that surrounds our terminal, either the one that comes standard or the one we install later. However, not all of these applications are equally useful or we use them with the same frequency. The problem is that many times we grant them permissions so that they can run at startup , without it being necessary.
Much of the control we can have over our mobile phone has gradually been inherited from what we have seen on the PC for years. Controlling the applications that load at Windows startup has been something that almost any user, no matter how new, has ever done. When this aspect gets out of control, system resources may begin to be unnecessarily depleted , which will cause a drop in overall performance.
Where to find the function
Luckily, Android has been improving with each version, the control we can have over our device. However, not all devices will be able to control the launch of applications. In order to find out, we have two different methods: the first is to go to the phone’s Settings and enter the Applications section. Inside we can see the “application start” settings. The second method is perhaps faster, and happens by writing “start” in the search box within the settings of our mobile. The terminal will find the function instantly and we can access it directly.
Once inside, we will see all the applications installed on our device, and the type of management that is currently being carried out. This is the most important section, since we must patiently review all those applications that have the switch activated . Many of them may not be necessary, or we have not used them for months. In that case, it is best to deactivate the switch, and do it with all the applications. Once done, we can manually select each app and leave all the start or background run switches off.
How does it benefit us?
Performing this review benefits us in some key ways. First, we can free the system from starting and running unnecessary applications. This should translate into improved overall system fluency. In addition, it serves as an exercise to identify all those apps that are no longer necessary, and that we may even have forgotten that they were installed on the mobile. Proceeding to delete them will also help us to get extra internal storage memory.
