RAM concerns

[Whatdoyouknow04]

So my phone has 4 Gb of ram but I always seem to have 2.2 GB used and 512mb are reserved for the OS so what is causing this?

probably for apps or widgets running background. ie. you phone has to update weather every 30 min or hr, messenger is on so u can receive messages and hear notifications.

its normal for all phone

Hi @Whatdoyouknow04 

This is just how the Android is designed. It always reserves some RAM to ensure smooth operation. And the more RAM you have, the more is reserved by the OS. Completely normal.
