**(58) Why does loading the application list take a long time?**
The application list is provided by Android, so the loading speed depends mostly on the power of your device and on the efficiency of your Android version.
For example shortage of memory could lead to increased loading times, because memory needs to be freed, for example by pausing other applications.
In some circumstances, restricting system apps and system components is known to cause the application list to load slowly or not at all. The exact circumstances are unknown.
