It is pointless to kill apps that will come back on by themselves.The anti-task killer crowd’s argument is two-pronged: This argument is valid: There are some poorly coded apps that stay on in the background, using CPU, when they are not needed and some apps do slow down the phone even when you are not using them. The pro-task killer crowd’s argument is some apps continue to run in the background, sometimes slowing down the phone and often using CPU and therefore wasting battery life. The truth is actually somewhere in between.īefore I delve into the explanation of why task killers can help and hurt, I would like to clarify that I personally use a task killer however I don’t do any autokilling, and you will understand why after I am done explaining. Others think of them as the satan of Android: A hugely misguided category of apps that do not improve battery life, but rather waste battery life. Many people swear by them, claiming they help improve battery life by closing apps running in the background. Task killers on Android are a controversial topic. Out of this relentless, undoubtedly Windows-inspired, desire to close/exit/kill apps, task killers – also known as task managers – were born. Google, of course, responded with some technical jargon how Android intelligently manages apps, blah, blah, blah, how there is no need to “exit” apps, blah, blah, and some more blah but users still were not satisfied. When Android first came out, users were dumbfounded how they is no “exit” button to close apps.
