If CCleaner is the program that must never be missing on a Windows PC, Clean Master is the Android app that everyone needs in order not to suffer too much from the memory limitations of the smartphone. The app seems indispensable especially for those who do not have a flagship smartphone, for those who have a mobile phone that has limited memory, both in terms of storage capacity and in terms of RAM .
Clean Master is not the only application of this type and on certain mobile phones it is not even essential, despite this being among the first most downloaded apps for Android, currently second only to Facebook, Whatsapp and Telegram.
This success is due to its simplicity and the fact that, in addition to functioning as a "file cleaner", it also allows you to check the security settings of your Android phone like an antivirus .
The cleaning of obsolete files instead frees the memory from the cache of the used applications, residual search history files and installation files.
The application consists of four main sections: useless files cleaner, Privacy and security, Memory Optimizer (relatively useless) and Application Manager .
The most useful function is certainly that of cleaning up unnecessary files, to delete unnecessary files that can even occupy 1 GB of internal memory or on the SD card.
Keep in mind that not all cache files must be removed, for example offline maps, downloaded songs, videos and photos received in Whatsapp and other data saved in specific applications that you don't want to lose should be kept, unless there are emergencies. .
Clean Master, with its clean and minimalist interface, makes it easy to program the cleaning of obsolete and temporary files and keep the memory free of uselessness.
The Privacy section works well because it allows you to check that all the installed apps are safe and allows you to delete contents such as the call log and search history in apps such as Facebook and Whatsapp.
In the latest version of Clean Master there is also a scan for malware, vulnerabilities and exploits in order to be sure that there are no viruses on the smartphone.
Scanning is automatic when Clean Master starts.
The memory optimization function is perhaps the least useful, unless you have a weak and low-memory cell phone.
As already explained, Clean Master is among the apps to optimize Android, free up memory and terminate processes for a faster mobile phone .
By using the application, you can free up some RAM and save battery power by killing unnecessary running processes.
In reality, however, the RAM of Android does not work like that of Windows, but is occupied to speed up the startup of the most used apps.
Freeing up memory can still be effective when there is lag and response delay on cheaper Android smartphones.
Clean Master also provides a button on the main screen which if touched immediately terminates all open processes and applications (except for configured exceptions).
Finally, the application manager allows you to uninstall apps or backup APK files.
In addition there is a tab with the apps recommended by Clean Master, to optimize the phone further.
In the Settings you can automate Clean Master, activate or deactivate real-time antivirus protection and make memory optimization automatic or not.
If you want to use Clean Master only manually, you can disable all the options.
The app also has a screen widget, which you can tap to delete unnecessary files and scan memory against malware and open unused apps that consume RAM.
Clean Master for Android is perhaps a must have, a free and feature-rich app, in my opinion not mandatory for everyone (honestly it amazes me that it is so used), but certainly among the apps to have .
