Perhaps it might be by draining your battery, or by using too much mobile data or maybe even by pushing ads in your face, but some if these Android apps can be so annoying in a lot of ways. Most attimes, we end up with too many of them on our phones.

However, the time has finally arrived to clean up your phone and it's time for you to clean up your smartphone and get rid if these mostly unnecessary apps.

1. Apps that claim to boost RAM


Most Android apps that run in background use up your RAM and also use up your battery life at the same time. The basis of these apps that claim to boost your RAM and save your phone's memory is to kill these background processes and stop these background apps. this however makes the problem worse.
These apps actually destabilizes your phone and even uses up more RAM.
The best way to boost your RAM is to find the apps that are using up you RAM and manually close them.

That's all?

2. Cleaning apps (Clean Master)

Cleaning apps often are installed to clean up your phone to boost its performance. Usually the only thing they do is to clean up the cached data of uninstalled apps. However, it's not actually necessary to download a cleaning app since you can clean this cache by yourself. To clean your cached data just go to Settings > Storage > and tap Cached data. Hit OK at the Clear cached data prompt that follows.



3. Battery savers


These are very similar to RAM boosters, just that in this case, they claim to save your battery life. Usually such apps are useless as most of them do nothing. There are very few exceptions to this and even at that, they are not needed in your Android phone.

The only way to increase your phone's battery life is to reduce energy demand from your snartphone's operating system and all running services and apps. So for these battery saving apps to really be effective, they would need to be in control of your phone's processes and that would mean granting these apps root privileges, and if your phone is not rooted there is no way to this.


The best way to minimize battery usage is to find the app with the highest battery consumption from your battery settings and forcing close it

4. Antivirus apps


Your Android smartphone device and the Play Store has the ability to do everything that other dedicated Android antivirus apps can do. For theft protection, your Android Device Manager can work without another app. And Google checks automatically with the Play Store to see whether an Android app is hiding malware.

I use to tell people that all those Battery saving App na wash it'll end up draining ur battery Faster

5) Apps That You Don't Use

It's really not a surprising fact that most of us have some apps that we don't use in our phone. These might be apps that you're installed in time past for a purpose. Since you are no longer using such apps, you should consider removing them. These apps for the most part only drain your battery and fill up your RAM. You can even backup up such applications in your SD card if you feel that you might be needing later on.

6)Uninstall Pre-installed Apps


Some pre-installed android apps should be removed as it has been proven that we end up using less than 30% of pre-installed Android apps. The problem with this however is that some of these apps cannot be removed without rooting your phone and even at that, removing such apps come with a risk.
In this case you should consider using the new app-freeze feature.

Ok... I think it comes with all Android Marshmallow phones. I don't use any third party app for that.


There are third party apps that can do that though.
Example is internet speed meter and xposed installer (for rooted phones)

I don't wanna derail this thread (that's if I haven't done so already)
