Android 6.0 Marshmallow was released in mid-2015 with new features like Doze mode, App permissions, app links, fingerprint scanner API and a better memory insights in Settings. If your phone is running android 6.0 then you are aware of the 'Memory' option in the 'Settings'. What do you think of this option? A RAM manager, absolutely not. It is not the default RAM manager that we used to see in Apps section in android 5.0 or below. This memory option does only tell about how the memory/RAM is being utilized by your phone and installed apps in a given time period. It doesn't tell the actual amount of free and the memory being used the apps. See the image below, there is no memory usage data.
