Stop swiping your apps away! You might think you’re saving battery life or freeing up RAM when you force-close background apps, but you’re making your phone work harder. In this video, we break down why force closing is an exercise in futility, app states and what the overview screen really tells you, and the only exception when you should force-close an app. Special thanks to Niel Lebeck who does work at Google, but is joining us in a personal capacity to share insights from his PhD research on Android memory management (his views are his own and do not represent Google).
