@mohsentux Usually the heap size is identical for all apps (unless the app declares largeHeap="true" in it's manifest. If I have an phone that doesn't run smoothly with Android 11 because of memory problems why should allowing every app more memory improve the situation? If RAM was already short with the lower heap size, increasing the heap size can make the RAM shortage only worse (if the app use the extra RAM at all). Increasing the heao size is only useful if you have apps that crash with an OutOfmemoryError (because their heap is too small).
