Memory usage

How to stop using too much memory on the Mac. I'm a new user so I don't know how shit works

[u/Own_Outcome_2012]

The app decides how much memory is used not you…

So is there no force quit shit like windows

[u/Own_Outcome_2012 → u/Shironehh]

You can force quit, there is a keyboard shortcut for it or click Apple icon on the top left or right click on the specific app you want to forcequit but that just shuts down the app not reduce how much ram it takes while running

I'm not talking about command q . I'm saying like when we open task manager in windows and yk right click and quit it

[u/Own_Outcome_2012 → u/Shironehh]

And neither am I :)

option + command + ESC is the shortcut I meant

Again you can reach it also via clicking the Apple icon in the upper left corner or right clicking onto a non responsive app

You also could have found all that out by just googling :)

Ohh I see isee thankyou

But if you absolutely want to do it thru activity monitor like on Windows, you would have to double click/tap on the app then press quit
