Show Memory Status in Recent Apps auf Xiaomi
The memory bar above your recent apps shows how much RAM is currently in use and how much is still free. It updates live as you open and close apps, but it does not stop or close anything running in the background by itself. It is purely a readout, not a cleanup tool.
By default this indicator can be hidden depending on your device setup, which makes it harder to spot when memory is getting tight before an app slows down or restarts unexpectedly. Turning it on gives you a quick visual reference every time you open the app switcher, without installing a separate memory monitor.
Where to enable it
Go to Tap on Settings ➔ Tap on Home screen ➔ Enable or disable Show memory status. Once enabled, the bar appears automatically at the top of the recent apps screen.
If your phone still feels slow with the indicator on, the cause usually sits elsewhere, such as too many auto-start apps or a full storage drive. In that case, checking storage and app permissions brings more improvement than watching the memory bar alone.
