It describes the effects of exceeding memory budgets, including zRAM swapping, CPU overhead, UI jank, throttling, and possible process termination, and outlines ways to measure and optimize app memory usage. ### Source excerpt Posted by Blair Harmon, Director of Product Management, Android Platform A great user experience is central to Android's mission, and delivering on that promise requires keeping devices fast, responsive, and reliable. This is why memory optimization is more critical than ever. Across the ecosystem, new devices are maintaining or even decreasing their physical memory capacity in response to memory price increases, yet users continue to expect the same seamless, high-performance app experience. In Android 17, we introduced per-app memory limits, starting with Pixel devices, to help protect the overall user experience from applications using excess memory and causing system-wide slowdowns. Over the coming year, an increasing number of manufacturers will leverage the Android per-app memory limits across their portfolio of device RAM configurations from 4GB to 16GB+ devices. If your app exceeds these limits, it will be slowed down and may be terminated. Optimizing your app's memory footprint is essential to preventing OS throttling and maintaining a seamless user experience. In this post, we'll explore how these limits work under the hood, how to measure your memory footprint using new Android vitals metrics, and actionable steps to optimize your app or game. Understanding Memory Limits When your app exceeds its memory budget, Android takes progressive action to protect device responsiveness: zRAM Swapping: If your app reaches its allocated limit, the system forces your app's pages into zRAM (compressed RAM). While zRAM prevents immediate eviction, compressing and decompressing pages adds CPU overhead, which can result in noticeable UI jank and experience slowdowns. Process Termination: If your app continues to increase its memory usage beyond the zRAM threshold, it will be terminated by the system. To determine if your app session was impacted by these constraints in the field, you can call getDescription() within ApplicationExitInfo. If the system applied a limit, the ## Optimizing RAM Usage on ESP32-C2 DevFeed: [Optimizing RAM Usage on ESP32-C2]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: John Lee Published: 2025-11-28T00:00:00Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [Blog on Developer Portal]() Topics: [ESP32](), [ESP-IDF](), [Optimization]() Tags: [ble](), [blog](), [esp-idf](), [esp32](), [esp32-c2](), [how-to](), [memory-management](), [memory-optimization](), [optimization](), [practitioner](), [wi-fi]() ### AI overview This article explains how to optimize RAM usage on the ESP32-C2 with ESP-IDF v5.5.
