There are three tabs:
• Downloaded displays all applications that have been downloaded onto
the smartphone.
• Running shows just those apps that are currently operating and the
services supporting those apps.
• All shows every app, both downloaded and running, installed on the
smartphone.
Tap an app to open its page. Any relevant information about the app
appears. This can include:
• Storage: This indicates how memory an app requires and is using, for
both the program and for data.
• Cache: This shows how much temporary data is stored for the program.
• Launch by default: If the app launches by default when a new file is
opened or the smartphone is turned on, its default status appears here.
• Permissions: These entries indicate what features on the smartphone
the app can access. These cannot be changed, as they are required
for the app to function, but this information can assist in determining
whether or not to continue using an app. For example, if using the GPS
location data is a security issue, this page will display whether or not the
app uses this feature.
On an app page, buttons appear, depending on the app. These buttons
allow users to control the app.
• Force stop: This cancels the application immediately.
• Uninstall updates: Tap this to remove any recent updates. This is useful
if a recent update has rendered an application inoperable.
• Clear data: Tapping this button clears an application's stored data. This
is one way to, for example, wipe out any locally saved email or images,
erase account and password data and otherwise delete any remaining
information saved by the program.
Note
Deleted data cannot be restored. Proceed with extreme caution.
