You may ask about the optimum number of apps that you should have in your phone. The answer is it’s not about the number of apps rather their size and complexity. According to experts the apps that take up too much of the phone’s memory or CPU will ultimately affect its performance more than any other app such as Facebook
  or HD Gaming apps as compared to a simple note-taking app.
• There are a few apps that keep running in the background and slow the phone down such as web browsers, either the built-in one or Google Chrome. Even when you are not on the websites browsing these apps keep running in the background and require you to forcefully stop them to free up CPU.

• Try not to leave any app open when you are not using the phone. Clear up the active apps list once you leave an app just in case there aren’t any other running. Doing so keeps your phone’s CPU health high. Also, get rid of the apps no matter their size and complexity if you rarely use them and save up the phone’s memory. The more free space you keep, the better your phone can perform background tasks.

• Try and keep a minimum 10% of your phone’s memory free to ensure optimum performance and zero lagging. Moreover whenever you download apps in future check their size and see if your phone will handle that app. This will help you see a faster performance.
