While your phone is on programs run in the background. Sometimes when you open an application then close out of it, it doesn't actually terminate and still runs in the background (which eats up some of your ram). When you reboot you terminate all the applications that run on it (freeing up the ram that those applications were using).



Rebooting your phone daily would actually be a good thing. Remember phones are basically handheld computers.

Follow this steps if u want increase ram without reboot GOTO process manager off all. Apps and games ( tap X sign ) reboot do TURN OFF all application ( background too ) when u open an application the rom will start u cannot off it whenever u dnt go to process manager or reboot example did u notice that "POU" application when pou energy is low we can turn on lamp and go! Lamp is on. Pou is sleeping, and when u open it again energy is full but if u off pou or any other application pou will close, and cannot sleep or anything so thanks for reading do this to increase RAM

The RAM in your phone isn't actually *used up*. Let's say you open firefox on your phone and it takes up 5 megabytes of memory. When you close it, the operating system doesn't actually "free" that 5 megabytes of memory until it really needs to. Instead it marks it as "reserved", so if you launch firefox again it will launch faster. If the OS actually needs that memory though for something else it will take it. So the amount of free memory is a bit misleading, however it's pretty easy to tell if your phone actually runs out of memory; everything will run very slowly.
