Task Manager
Your phone can run applications simultaneously, with
some applications running in the background.
Sometimes your device might seem to slow down
over time, and the biggest reason for this are
background applications. These are applications that
were not properly closed or shutdown and are still
active but minimized. The Task Manager not only lets
you see which of these applications are still active in
the background but also easily lets you choose which
applications are left running and which are closed.
Note: The larger the number of applications running on your
phone, the larger the energy drain on your battery.
