Controlling your background process
Just Incase you’re not really ok with the results of disabling the Apps that are listed within the battery stats menu on your phone, you can try out steps which are slightly advanced. The best way to have control of what runs and not is to dig around in the hood using the monitoring tools which come with Android.
You need to enable your developer options before you start in some cases.
In many versions of Android devices, you’ll have to Go: Settings > About phone & then tap on ‘Build number’ about seven. Then get a notification which tells you that Developer options have been unlocked.

This can be found in Settings > System > Advanced > Developer options > Running services. This option lands with you in a list of running processes displaying how much RAM is used by each.
