How to find out how much RAM my apps use?

[Android Central Question]

I have a Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus, and recently my phones been acting really slow. It makes sense, since after closing out of all my apps, I only have 470 MB available space, with System and Apps using up 2.9GB and Reserved with 636 MB.

Is there anywhere I can go that tells me exactly what that 2.9GB from System and Apps consists of? I used to have over 1GB available at all times and that worked great for me, but now that it's constantly less than 500MB it has really slowed down my phone.

Are you sure you have a genuine S8+? Those figures don’t seem right to me, but I say that as a non-Sammie user.

I’ll move the thread to the S8+ forum.

Would recommend wiping the cache partition. Sometime that helps clear out junk. If you don't know how, Youtube has good vids.
To check how much memory each app is using...
settings>device maintenance>memory. Tap "view more" and it should open a list of all running programs.

An S8 or an S8+ should have 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB's of storage.
