All smartphones, Android or Apple, are equipped with RAM. It is well known that the optimization of an apple device is greater than that of the counterpart of the green robot. In fact, it is no coincidence that "traditional" smartphones have lots of RAM compared to iPhones. The latter do not reach more than 4 GB in general. But there is a way to check how much memory individual applications are using? Yes, and it's very simple. Let's see how to do it.
