How to See What Apps Are Currently Running on Android - wikiHow

Android apps often keep running even after you switch away from them. It's useful to look up exactly which apps are still running as a result.
STEPS

1

HIT THE MENU BUTTON ON YOUR ANDROID. Then, select "Manage apps."

2

PULL THE TITLE BAR IN APPS OVER FROM THE RIGHT. Stop when you see "running."

3

CLICK ON THE "RUNNING" OPTION.

4

LOOK AT THE APPS YOU CURRENTLY HAVE RUNNING. This includes the memory used by each listed on the right.
TIPS
An app like Task Killer can be a good way to shut down apps that you don't want running.
