Apps keep closing when you switch between them
Your phone is running out of memory (RAM), so Android is automatically closing apps to free up space. This is your phone protecting itself, but it means the phone needs more memory or you're running too many apps at once.
Your phone has limited RAM (memory), and when too many apps run at once, they fight for space. When RAM gets critically low, Android closes background apps to free up room for the app you're using. This isn't a broken app — it's your phone managing limited resources. The fix is either closing apps you're not using or uninstalling apps you don't need.
Fix-IT-Bot will walk you through each step — just tap, no typing needed.
Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Blaming one specific app when the real problem is low overall RAM
- Constantly closing recent apps thinking it helps — modern Android doesn't benefit from this
- Thinking an older phone should work the same as a new one — older phones have less RAM and can't multitask as much
Signs you need professional help
- Apps close even after closing all background processes and RAM is still critically low
- You're not sure if your phone has enough RAM for your needs
- You need help determining which apps are safe to uninstall
