low memory killers stay organized with collections save and categorize content based on your preferences the android low memory killer lmk daemon monitors the memory state of a running android system and reacts to high memory pressure by terminating the least essential processes android vitals tracks and reports user perceived lmk terminations in google play console to help you identify memory pressure issues affecting your users note for information on how to diagnose and resolve this issue see low memory killers lmk metric on android vitals android vitals can help you monitor and improve your app s lmk rate android vitals measures only one lmk rate user perceived lmk rate the metric reflects the percentage of your daily active users who experienced at least one user perceived lmk a user perceived lmk is an lmk that is likely to have been noticed by the user for example this includes lmks that happen while your app is displaying an activity or running as a foreground service these terminations result in an immediate non graceful process exit to the end user it looks like the app crashed often bypassing standard lifecycle state saving mechanisms and resulting in lost user progress android vitals focuses on these process terminations because they serve as a high fidelity proxy for memory mismanagement issues an lmk rate above 1 indicates a critical need for immediate action however a lower lmk rate doesn t necessarily mean the app s memory usage is healthy that lower rate might mean that the lmk daemon is frequently killing processes while they are in the background which degrades warm start performance and multitasking fluidity you can find the metric under the stability section in android vitals figure 1 access user perceived lmk rate in android vitals as with similar core vital metrics such as anrs and crashes you can filter the metrics compare your metrics with your peers or monitor the metric s change for a long period of time up to 3
