How to maximize the RAM on your Android phone

When you've had a smartphone for a while it can start to feel slow, and RAM—Random Access Memory, which is where your phone stores its stuff as it's using it—can be part of the problem. If your phone doesn't have enough RAM, it can struggle, but there are ways to address that. To help you, we've put together some tips on how to use phone RAM more efficiently on Android.

Generally speaking, the Android system is quite good at RAM management, and modern smartphones pack more than enough memory to get the job done, so RAM worries on Android devices are largely consigned to the past. Nonetheless, if you have an older device or are troubleshooting reasons for unexplainable slowdown on your smartphone, we can take a look at how to conserve RAM or tack on virtual RAM to see if it might help the situation.

Jump to:

What is RAM (Random Access Memory) on a smartphone?

RAM is what your device uses when it's doing something. For example, when you're editing a photo both the photo and the app you're using to edit it are in the device's RAM; when you're finished, the photo is saved to your device's storage so it can't get lost. The more RAM you have, the more you can do. For example, you can have more browser tabs open, more apps running or more system features doing their stuff.

The problem with phone RAM is that it isn't always cleared properly, and apps don't always behave. Some applications and system processes run when you don't need them to, while others don't clean up after themselves when they quit. After a while, those issues can have noticeable results such as slow performance, lagging and stuttering, and the odd crash. 

Like internal storage, RAM is a physical component of your device so you can't just stick more in. What you can do, though, is use it more efficiently. In addition, if you own a device with Android 11 or 12, high chances are that you have the ability to further extend your RAM by allocating some of your storage using a feature called Virtual RAM.

How to conserve your RAM

Now that you know what RAM is, we'll show you how to preserve it. In this guide, we focus on tips for non-rooted devices. For those devices, you can't magically add more memory, and virtual memory is not fast enough to cover the needs of games. But you can make better use of what you've got. As a rule of thumb, the more your phone is doing; the more RAM is being used. So, if you can reduce what's running, you can free up more memory for the tasks that really matter. 

Limit widgets and live wallpapers

Widgets and live wallpapers are both pretty greedy when it comes to RAM usage. Many refresh often and occupy bandwidth, while some are continuously active. This can also cause your battery to drain faster. So remember to limit the number of widgets and live wallpapers in effect to optimize your current available memory.

Manually close or uninstall apps

If swiping away an app doesn't help, then you might need to take a tougher approach and close the app manually. This can be done in Settings > Apps, then tap on an app. Under the Memory heading, you can see how much RAM it has used in the past 3 hours. 

From there you can Force Stop an app to free up RAM in the short term or simply uninstall it if you feel it's not worth using later.

If you cannot see an uninstallation option for the app, you need to remove the app's 'advanced rights'. You normally grant these rights during the installation of the app.

Go to Settings (general) > Security > Device Admin apps and uncheck the box next to the app. You can now uninstall the app. 

Some Android UIs allow a general overview of the RAM usage on the device. For example, on a Samsung phone, you can go to Settings > Device maintenance > Memory to see all the processes that are using RAM, and how much. This can help you identify the troublemakers.

Disable animations

Animations often steal RAM and are quite inessential; you can manage these in the developer options. To enable Developer Options on your device, go to your Settings, then About Phone, and then tap on the build number about seven times until it notifies you that you have become a developer. (Please note that this has no negative effect on your device, it just adds the developer options menu in your settings. You just need to be cautious when poking around in there.)

Once you have done this, go back into your phone settings and scroll down to Developer Options. Next, go into the Drawing section and turn off the following options. Your RAM will thank you for it:

  •  Window animation scale.
  •  Transition animation scale.
  •  Animator duration scale.

How to expand your RAM on Android

If you find yourself needing just a little extra from your RAM, then buying a new smartphone is not the only option. While you can't download RAM yet, some Android manufacturers have implemented a feature called Virtual RAM. This feature repurposes some of your high-speed internal storage into RAM memory, allowing your device to benefit from a couple of extra gigabytes of memory. 

But since this is still utilizing the slower SSD memory chips, this RAM extension will only be helpful for background applications, browsing, and other less intensive tasks. So do not expect to improve your performance in games directly. What it can do, is help your device allocate background applications there, giving your games a larger chunk of higher speed RAM.

The following process may differ from manufacturer to manufacturer, but in general, you can find this option in About Device > RAM > RAM expansion

A couple of things to note: This will occupy the selected amount of storage space on your device, and you should only use it if you have enough space available. In addition, some manufacturers may not provide the feature at all or restrain it to only 1 GB. Lastly, background applications that launch from virtual RAM may temporarily feel a bit slower than normal, at least until the device loads them to the faster, conventional RAM memory.

How to boost the RAM on your Samsung smartphone

  1. Head into your Settings > Battery and device care.
  2. Select Memory.
  3. Select RAM Plus.
  4. Choose between 2 GB, 4 GB, 6 GB, or 8 GB (for the Galaxy S22 series). The amount of selectable RAM depends on your Samsung smartphone model.

How to boost the RAM on your Motorola smartphone

  1. Go to Settings > System > Performance.
  2. Select the amount of virtual RAM that you would like. For Motorola, this feature is known as RAM Boost.
  3. The amount of virtual RAM that can be selected depends on the Motorola model that you have.

How to boost the RAM on your Xiaomi smartphone

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Go to Additional Settings.
  3. Select Memory expansion.
  4. Activate the switch to expand the memory.
  5. You can enable/disable this feature of MIUI 13 as you see fit. For it to work, you obviously need to have at least 3GB of available storage space. Once activated, your smartphone will benefit from 3 GB of additional RAM.

      Yup, all the comments about SD cards are completely off the wall. In fact, using microSD as "adoptable storage" (App2SD) requires more RAM than normal. I use Greenify on all my devices, and a RAM cleaner on an old Android J tablet that only has 1GB of RAM - newer devices have more RAM and Android has improved management.

    Just one little problem. Android isn't Windows. If it needs some of the RAM in use, it kills apps (then brings them back in the state they were when you use them). It's a nice app, but not only is there no need for it, SD cards can't take all that writing, and the card won't last as long. (One of the people on the team that wrote Android wrote a whole article about this, but since I can't post links ...)

    what if it says no root access and on the SDCARD free: it says -1/ -1
    but when I used the sd it worked perfectly fine
    Update: when I put the SD card the phone was turned off so should I re do it because I saw a setting saying mount SD card maybe I should warn the phone that I am putting something in it

      If you like all in one you really need to try SD Maid. It is important to note that unlike most others this one is not idiot-proof so do your homework. The developer (Darken) has included all of the relevant configuration information in the app and also has a website with even more and there are YouTube videos also if you prefer. It's worth the time to do the homework and set it up correctly as it is far superior to every other app like it

      No it will take the storage as you want ie 2gb in your case


    • Haani Jessin 1
      Haani Jessin Oct 24, 2016 Link to comment

      The ratio is 1:1. It takes only 2 GB space on your SD if you increase 2 GB RAM.
      It is possible if your SD card has more than 4GB of space and in your case, you do. So you will be able to do so.

    Hi,
    I have a 32GB class 10 SD Card on my Samsung I9082. Available mem is ~ 29GB. This phone as 1GB RAM. I believe its a fit case to increase RAM. However, have two questions for the experienced folks here:
    1. If I designate 4 GB of the SD Card as SWAP, can the rest ~25 GB be used for other storage - music, video, photos, files?
    2. What happens when the SD Card fails? (SD Cards fail notoriously).

    Thanks
    Harsha

Well for me it takes 5mins to complete the process,,. Brand of my handset was MYphone and it has only 225 RAM,, It boosted all out to 1.06 GB., Unfortunately it doesnt refelect on the APPS Settings Where you can view the RAM usage for it stays the same,, you can check it out for your self In MEMINFO,.. of the ROEHsoft RAM (swap )..

      I can see you don't know what your talking about ever heard of ssd? Solid state drive it's basically same thing as a SD card but that is connected through data or pcie-x slot this has the same effect I did it and worked normally no speed limitations whatsoever even run benchmarks


      • Soren Cicchini 1
        Soren Cicchini Oct 24, 2016 Link to comment

        Sort of, but SSDs are not sensible RAM options either because they are slower than RAM and they do not have the theoretically limitless writability that RAM does: they wear out. SD cards are even less suitable for RAM than SSDs due to slower access and even less design emphasis on frequent reading and writing of small data blocks. Also, Android does not handle memory like Windows does. It saves status information about apps to allow them to be quickly opened to its previous state, making it appear that it was open in the background (I can't post hyperlinks, but this is covered in on the Android Developers site under "Stopping and Restarting an Activity").

      Because they don't exist, it's not a PC and there are no memory modules. Androids have sometimes more than 50 partitions and RAM is one of them but they all exist on the same chip. You can see all of the partitions and their properties using disk info app

    Hello,

    This is really an informative blog for all the smartphone users who want to increase their phone's RAM. This is helpful because App demand will surely increase day by day, as it is the main reason behind the business success, and for heavy app you must require higher RAM on your devices.

    I am an app developer, I have tried most of the mobile app development platforms. I have developed more than 50 apps till today with the help of Phonegap, Telerik, Configure.IT etc. They are running successfully on app store.

    As per my experience in this field, I recommend developers as well as beginners to use mobile app development platform like Configure.IT, because it provides automatic coding, app preview facility, direct API connect and a lot more features. These things save a lot more development time and provides fast and well designed app in much less time.

    You might wanna know that your article was copied and pasted on inmygroup.com/2015/01/23/increase-ram-android-phones/. The scam artist didn't even bother to create his own image.

    I also have a question: when I run the RoehSoft SwapCheck app, I don't see the button 'Click for results'. Instead, I have to choose the drive, then the test runs automatically. It then returns to the starting page, displaying 'Activating SWAP, please wait!'. That looks good, but then the status changes back to the starting status. Without any report on whether the phone is suited or not. And I can't find any button or menu option to give me the results.

    Also, the roehsoft.com site is down for maintenance. Any ideas?

    EDIT: It appeared that KingRoot, with which I had rooted my phone immediately prior to running the SwapCheck, had blocked the latter. Upon rebooting my phone and re-running the test, KingRoot asked whether it should allow it. I allowed it and then the test did give results. Unfortunately, my phone is not suited. :-(

      Read the above article. RAM is a physical component it can't be "increased". You can only manage the load better.
      Go through your apps and uninstall any you are not using. (you can easily re downloaded from the Google play store).

      Use a app like "greenifly" to manage resource sapping apps.

      Don't Save Apps to the SD card (Your phone has to constantly read the whole SD card) if you don't have enough internal memory for your apps then you have to many. Uninstall ones you have not used for a while.

      When your using high RAM Games then close any other running apps so it is just the game using resources.

      Read the many good articles on Androidpit and learn how to use Android properly.

    "Note that this process will mean that the SD-card is no longer accessible from a computer."
    So does that mean I won't be able to format my external SD card again?
    And does using this method mean that I cannot copy things to my external SD card or my phone's internal SD card?

      The sentence is totally wrong. You'll be able to access the SD card from your PC.

    Animation speed's 1X is not as good as turning all 3 off. I like to use 0.5X for the 3. U save more RAM and the device will love u more for it ( more so on older devices with less RAM ). It's a trade-off between good looks & freeing up resources.

    By using the ROEHSOFT RAM expander method,in apps(running) do we get to see a visual increase in RAM memory.Like my RAM is 512 MB and by using the app it shows now i have 1GB.??

      I don't know for certain, but I doubt it. I think it would just show the old RAM amount.

      No, the ram partition is fixed. The app doesn't change the size of the ram partition, it lets you use phone memory to be used as ram.

        in dev options the author said to set animation, transition and the other one to "off" and it would improve RAM. I read elsewhere that having those three items set to lowest value, 1x) speeds up your browser and eliminates any lag u may experience, which on is better to do? AND I read that on mine the LG G3 D850 there is a way to turn on the Temperature Sensor... I'm still learning all this stuff and am eager for the knowledge so please any
        input/opinions are appreciated..

        I agree I have read articles from @Scott A Gordon that say to turn off animations, with others saying turn it higher.

        Which is best or is it "test & see"?

        Off is definitely better. Just think about it for a moment Graphics use resources animations are Graphics therefore graphics use resources. It's directly proportional so how could anything be better than off?

      I'm pretty sure that it does nothing more than create a swap partition just like all the other apps that do the same thing. No one I have ever spoken to knows of any way to increase the size of the RAM partition
