I’ll post a complaint about this in 5 minutes when my phone’s UI is responsive again.
That kind of shit is why I finally switched to iOS. Android’s App Store has a huge seedy ghetto.
That’s the beauty of android. The Google Play store is trash so use something like f-droid instead.
I just got so tired of trying to find things that don’t suck, messing with bootloaders and custom ROMs, troubleshooting device-specific problems, all of that. I’m too old for that shit now. I get people doing it, but I just said “fuck it” and got the device that mostly Just Works and pairs nicely with my mac. I know, evil blah blah, but I also think Google is worse.
Yall have to have some shady apps I have never had this issue. Apps starting on boot is not normal
Tell that to all the google apps with backdoor permissions that can’t be uninstalled.
I have those apps too. I’m just saying I have never had this issue. I am not saying it’s not legit it’s just strange.
I also don’t use any social media besides lemmy so that might also play a factor. And I block A LOT of ips on my phone.
748mb of RAM on my phone is currently being used by random crap I didn’t ask for, like Chrome and Messenger (neither of which have been used in years), smart view, DeX, settings suggestions, gallery stories, quallcom.atfwd, visit in (none of which I’ve every actually used in any capacity AFAIK), media storage, downloads manager, game booster, game optimizing service, phone, wifi calling, contacts, contacts storage, blocked number storage, CMHProvider, Mobile Location Protocol, google services framework, and Gmail (none of which I’ve asked to run or are being used by the things I have asked to run).
These aren’t just services either, they’re fully fleged background apps with app entries and everything. And not a one was started by me.
You need to install Force Stop App(NO ROOT) and run it whenever your phone starts to feel sluggish. Helps a lot!
Modern OSes handle memory management and background tasks. Unless you have something truly malicious running, you’re just getting in your own way by force quitting apps.

I still have app killer no matter how many times google whines it’s no longer supported
Go to settings;
type "build number " in the search bar;
click on the build number until you’re a dev.
Go into developer options;
type “background process limit”;
Choose the maximum number of applications you want to have in background.
Profit
