Background applications are those that continue to work even when you are not using them and the active application window is closed (for example, installing updates, sending and receiving notifications). In the background, you can run both system applications that are necessary for the functioning of the device and application applications, such as games, music, etc.
If many applications are running in the background at the same time, this may affect the operation of the device, although not critically. In particular, it can slow down the speed and accelerate battery drain. Background apps can also use Internet traffic.
How to improve the situation
There are various ways to improve the situation in the device settings. Among other things:
- enable the function of putting apps to sleep if they are not used for a long time;
- limit battery usage for a specific application in the background;
- activate the traffic saving feature, which prevents applications from using traffic in the background;
- turn on the power saving mode, etc.
⚠️ However, it is important to remember that certain programs may not work properly when restrictions are set in your phone.
