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

The application we will talk about below serves as a solution to the processes that run in the background on our television and which we cannot eliminate at the same time, as in our mobile devices and computers. With ‘Background Apps and Process List’ (yes, a name appropriate to its sole function) we have this possibility, freeing up our television’s memory so our experiences remain equally fluid.

Managing the RAM memory of our Android TV is very easy with this application

With so many smart TVs these days, the experience of browsing through the operating system can be a bit fluid. because this To maximize its performance, its hardware does not include a high-capacity processor and memory.Something we can see in mobile phones and computers, environments where it makes much more sense to have the most advanced technology in this sense.

Having such limited hardware on smart TVs (especially mid-range and entry-level) means our experience is significantly impacted, so we’ll see: Our television is starting to slow down We have more apps in the background than usual.

Most of the time we use the television to play content through an external computer or console, watch television channels or play video games; Navigating and using apps constantly takes a backseat to apps, as they are a bit more static than on other devices.

Because of this When we run many applications at the same time the TV stops behaving normally and starts creating problems. There are too many applications in the background, causing our TV to become unresponsive many times. And the worst thing is that they do not allow us to delete these applications 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 applications running in the background On our television, it also gives us the opportunity to eliminate them in order to better manage the RAM memory of the television.

Its operation is quite simple. Just download the app for your Android TV; When you run the application we will find all the processes running in the background on our TV. If we want to eliminate them, all we have to do is select any of them and continue deleting. We can also choose to uninstall several applications at once or even close all processes.

Another option they offer us with this application is also kill system processes. We need to be careful here because some operations are required for the television to work properly.

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