Game apps are a different story. The difference in memory usage between the 8 games on iOS and Android is much smaller. Some games on the Android platform take up more memory, but there is no difference of several times as in APP apps.

In general, APP apps and games have different performances in terms of memory usage on iOS and Android. Because games are native code, the difference between different platforms is not big, but the memory usage of APP apps is very different because of the different compilation methods of the two platforms. The memory usage of the Android platform is several times that of iOS, and the demand for memory is higher. If the memory capacity is low, it is inevitable that there will be problems such as freezes. Among APP apps, the memory usage of APP apps on the Android platform is significantly higher than that of iOS. Twitter takes up 100MB on iOS, but 366MB on Android. The eBay app takes up only 69MB on iOS, but 300MB on Android.

Of course, there are some apps that don’t have that big of a difference in memory usage. The two app stores use about 217MB and 235MB of memory respectively, but this is a very small minority. For most apps, the difference is 2-3 times or even higher.
