No matter how much RAM manufacturers put in their smartphones, we all face the fact that Android often too inexorably terminates applications running in the background. E.g. Samsung is trying to combat this at least a little with its RAM Plus feature, but it still applies to its machines. At best, this means restarting the last played song or reloading the tweet, but in some cases, unsaved data may be lost.

With a new generation coming Androidwith 13, which is currently in testing, Google may finally be ready to improve how background task management works. The website XDA Developers noticed a new revision on Android Gerrit, which builds on some of the changes the company is working on in Chrome OS. Google is working on implementing MGLRU, or "Multi-Generational Least Recently Used", as a certain policy in the system Android. After initially rolling it out to millions of Chrome OS users, the company has also integrated it into core Androidat 13, potentially extending the company's reach to countless smartphone owners.

MGLRU should Androidu help to better choose those applications that are suitable to close and leave running those that you are most likely to come back to, or contain unfinished work (annotated text, etc.). Google is already testing the new memory management on a sample of more than a million devices, and the first results look more than promising. In fact, full-scale profiling shows a total reduction in kswapd processor usage by 40% or an 85% reduction in the number of application kills due to lack of memory.
