This seems to be a topic that always comes up in discussions. And it's not just for s Android, I see that the same happens with s of iOS. I think that since 2010 (or even before), I have argued that the use of task killers or relative worsen the performance of the device and also the memory consumption. But to understand better, it is important to keep in mind that mobile devices should not be compared with computers or notebooks when it comes to closing applications.
In a quick summary, the greater use of available memory does not worsen the battery consumption, in fact, this improves the consumption and overall performance of the device.
Now it was the turn of the Greenify developer, oasisfeng, (an Android application that promises, by changing settings, to improve the device's battery consumption) talk a little about the issue in a thread on XDA. Here's the translation:
Removing apps from the recent list is often not a good practice as it reduces the efficiency of the cache mechanism in Android, thus impacting the performance of your device.
Removing the recent list app terminates their process, preventing them from being cached in Android's memory. Subsequently, the more you launch these applications, the more time it takes, as well as more processing cycles, for the application to start again and put into memory. Not removing the app from the recents list will save time and battery (not so much).
Clearing recent apps will only free up your device's RAM and will not benefit you at all.
, there is no such thing as empty memory, there is only memory that is not in use, and there is no disk swap on mobile devices. That is, it is better to let the developers of the device systems worry ing memory more efficiently, as well as battery consumption.
