When you switch away from the 1xBet app:
- Instant return: App stays in memory, returns immediately
- State preserved: Bet slip, page position, everything saved
- Background efficiency: Uses minimal resources when not active

Common Questions
Will the app slow down my phone?
No. The app is optimized for mobile devices and uses fewer resources than browser betting. It's designed to run smoothly even on mid-range devices.
Why does the app need 150 MB storage?
The storage includes the app code, UI assets, and cache for fast loading. This is a one-time cost that enables much faster performance and offline access to cached content.
Can I reduce RAM usage?
The app already uses minimal RAM. Avoid live streaming if you need to free up memory. The app automatically releases memory when in background.
Does the app run in background constantly?
No. The app uses < 1% CPU in background, only waking briefly to receive notifications. It doesn't drain resources when you're not using it.
My device has only 2 GB RAM. Can I use the app?
Yes, but with limitations. Close other apps before using 1xBet. Avoid live streaming. The app will function but may be slower than on devices with more RAM.
How does this compare to other betting apps?
1xBet app is well-optimized compared to competitors. Most betting apps use 150-250 MB RAM active. 1xBet is on the lower end while offering more features.
