While each major Android OS update brings with it a host of new power-saving features (the Doze mode on Android 6.0 is particularly nifty), most people don't get to use them due to the notoriously slow rollout of Android updates. Even if you do have all the perks of the latest Android version though, Greenify offers an extra level of control over battery-hogging apps that's extremely handy. Made by the stalwart developers at XDA Developers. While plenty of apps out there can be used to disable background processes and apps on your Android device, Greenify has effective 'hibernate' options, which put apps to sleep then open them at points when you find convenient - striking a balance between battery-saving and usability. The biggest benefits come with a rooted phone, because that way Greenify can work entirely in the background without you needing to activate it. If you really want to have full control over which apps are sneakily running on your phone and wasting that precious phone battery fuel, then Greenify is hands-down the best option.
