Today you can do anything with a smart TV. From playing streaming content to running all kinds of apps and even controlling devices around us. However, memory is limited and sometimes TV starts to slow down when we run a lot of apps.

The application, which we will talk about a little later, is a solution to the processes that run in the background on our television and that we cannot eliminate at the same time as on our mobile devices and computers. With “Background Applications and Process List” (yes, a name honoring its unique function) we have this possibility, freeing our tv’s memory so our experience remains just as smooth.

With this application it is very easy to manage the RAM of our Android TV

With so many smart TVs these days, the operating system browsing experience can be a bit slick. because this To maximize your performance, your hardware does not include a high-capacity processor and memorysomething we can see on mobile phones and computers, in environments where it makes much more sense to have the latest technology in this regard.

Having such limited hardware on smart TVs (especially in the mid and entry range) significantly impacts our experience, so we’ll see. our tv started to slow down We have more background apps than usual.

We often use the television to play content, watch television channels or play video games via a computer or external console; Browsing and using apps constantly stays in the background because the usage we give it is a bit more static compared to other devices.

For this reason when we run many apps at the same time, the TV stops behaving normally and starts to cause problems. There are too many apps running in the background and this is causing our TV to become unresponsive many times. And worst of all, they don’t let us delete these apps to give the RAM some fresh air. This is where the magic of this app comes into play.

With Background Apps and Process List we can see a list of all apps running in the background on our TV, it also gives us the possibility to eliminate them to better manage the TV’s RAM.

Its operation is quite simple. Just download the app for your Android TV and when you run it, you will find all the processes running in the background on your TV. If we want to eliminate them, all we have to do is select any and continue with deletion. We can also choose to suddenly uninstall several apps or even close all processes.

Another of the options they offer us with this application is also kills system processes. We need to be careful here because some operations are necessary for the TV to work properly.

The application is offered completely free of charge on the Google Play Store. It is also compatible with mobile devices, but It makes much more sense to use it on a TV with an Android TV.because we are not allowed to perform this function out of the box.
