Task Manager
Sometimes your phone 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.
