Programs 'restarting'

[Ivo-p]

Hello, I was wondering if it is normal for programme's to shut down after one has played 3d games like real racing 3. After that when i look in options in the 'apps' section it tells me that they are restarting and I have to wait a couple of minutes before they start running again. In particular eset antivirus, Facebook and messenger.

It may be that big games like Real Racing make the system close out other apps to free up enough system RAM. When you exit out of the game, those apps restart, because Android always tries to keep RAM somewhat full of open apps (to allow for faster and more efficient app opening and switching).
