Manage unused apps on your Android device
If you haven’t used apps for a long time, to optimize the app, Android will:
- Delete temporary files to free up space.
- Revoke app permissions.
- Stop unused apps from running in the background.
- Stop unused apps from sending notifications.
To review apps that are unused and optimized, go to Apps 👁 and then
Unused apps.
If you want to exclude any specific app from this feature, go to App Info 👁 and then
Unused apps. Then, turn off Pause app activity if unused.
