To see how much free internal memory the system has, go to "Settings" to the item "Memory" or else "Vault". It is important to note that each phone model reserves a different amount of memory for the system.
Note that on devices with their own firmware (e.g. Xiaomi, Meizu), the memory will initially be even more occupied. The same applies to RAM: these smartphones require at least 3 GB to function properly.

Stopping the application
Another effective way is to force the application to stop. But again, you have to use this function with care, because this can only be done if the application is not a system application.
