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.
