Google has introduced a new memory management system with Android 17, which aims to provide a more effective solution to excessive RAM consumption and background freezing issues on phones. Android 17 prevents unnecessary loads on the system and targets to prevent situations that slow down the device's overall performance.

The MemoryLimiter mechanism in Android 17 sets separate limits based on the device's total RAM capacity. When an application exceeds its limit, instead of closing other applications, the system immediately terminates only the problematic process that exceeds the resource consumption. This new system is also expected to have a positive impact on phone battery life. Google provides detailed reports to application developers via the 'ApplicationExitInfo' API about why the system was closed.
