Task Manager

Sometimes your phone might seem to slow down over time, and the 
biggest reason for this are background applications. These are 
applications that were not properly closed or shutdown and are still 
active but minimized. The Task Manager not only lets you see which 
of these applications are still active in the background but also easily 
lets you choose which applications are left running and which are 
closed.
