There are so many apps available that seem to provide all types of additional advantages and features, but are they really worth the effort and space on your device?
Well, as it turns out, many of them are not really needed and don’t offer many additional features to your device, in fact, many of these apps cause a disadvantage as they run in the background and take up vital space and memory.
Facebook provides various features that require constant updates as your friends upload their comments and share pages. As we all know, Facebook also has many other notifications such as birthdays that end up using a lot of data, battery life, and memory even when it’s used in the background only.
Facebook can be accessed with a shortcut on your home page that allows you to instantly connect and see the latest updates, but firstly, doesn’t take up any space apart from a few Kb’s for the icon. The shortcut appears just as the app, but a lot more useful with the HTLM5 website offered. Users will be able to access the latest news feed as they have been posted, unlike the app that always seems a bit confused with the order things appear in.
Clean Master
Rumour has it that deleted apps leave cache behind long after they have been removed and that you require a particular app to clear off the wasted cache. The first part is correct, old and current apps create cache while in use, but an additional app to remove it is definitely not needed. Users can open settings, go to settings, storage and hit the clear cache button. Doesn’t seem difficult right?
Apps like Clean Master do exactly that, but also take up a significant amount of memory and battery life to do so. These apps usually run in the background to “perform” the cleaning process and keep your phone “health”.
Anti-Virus
Anti-Virus apps have fooled many standard users. Google and their Play Store have highly secure software in place to pick up on any apps that might have additional harmful software. An anti-virus app with not provide any additional security unless you are an advanced user that downloads APK’s and more that do not appear on the Play store. However, as an advanced user, you should also know that harmful apps are easier to remove without anti-virus software.
