With the ever-increasing size of apps, there is a chance that you may find it difficult to use your phone as these apps tend to eat up your phone memory and battery. Not only will you notice lags during heavy tasks, but you may also notice that your phone takes longer than before in booting from power ON.

How to Prevent Apps from Launching Automatically on Android

That’s because when your phone boots up, it also automatically launches some of your apps during boot-up before you actually open them. In fact, some apps can be running in the background from the start, even if you haven’t launched them. While this can slow down your phone, having more apps set to auto-launch also means your phone’s battery will drain faster than you expect.

Luckily, we've compiled a list of methods that will help you prevent apps from automatically launching on your phone.

Since Android 9 rolled out, smartphones have had a feature called Adaptive Battery. Adaptive Battery uses machine learning to determine which apps you’re using now and which you’ll open later. The feature places apps into one of five predefined App Standby Buckets based on your usage: Active, Working Set, Frequent, Rare, and Never.
