ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Low memory

Okay kiddo, let's say you have a toy box and it can only hold a certain amount of toys before it gets full, right? That's kind of like how our computer or phone has something called memory, which is a place where all the things we do and all the things we save are stored.

Now imagine you have lots and lots of toys and you try to put them all in your toy box. It gets pretty full, doesn't it? That's kind of like what happens with our devices when we use too many apps or save too many pictures or videos.

When our devices get too full of stuff, it can slow down or even stop working properly. That's because it doesn't have enough "room" for all the things we want to do. That's what we call having low memory - it's like having a toy box that's too full to take any more toys.

So, just like how we need to clean up our toys and put some away in storage to make room for new ones, we also need to delete some things from our device or move them to a different place to free up some memory. That way, our device can work properly and we can keep playing with our toys!
