How to find apps that use the most memory on Android
Many Android phones have a lot of memory these days, but not everyone wants to cash out of them. Even if you do, you may wonder which apps are consuming RAM. We'll show you how to figure it out.
First, we will need to enable hidden "developer options" in Android. There are some useful features hidden here, including the ability to see which apps are using the most memory. Stay out of this path before proceeding.
Next, swipe down once or twice—depending on your phone—from the top of the screen to reveal the full quick settings menu, then tap the gear icon.
Scroll down to "System."
Now select "Developer Options".
Tap "Memory" to see RAM usage statistics.
You will see "Average memory usage" at the top of the screen. Scroll down a bit and select "Memory used by apps."
Here you will see the RAM usage by applications. You can adjust the timeframe through the drop-down menu at the top of the screen.
That's all there is to it! Apps are ranked by how much memory they use, so the biggest spenders will be at the top of the list. "Android OS", "Android OS" and "Google Play Services" will always be on top. Scroll down to find third-party apps.
