How to see what apps are consuming cpu

[Mysteryman]

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 5e and occassionally it goes really slow and unresponsive.

I installed an widget that shows the system state and this indicates the cpu as high levels of usage (70+%) when it is not really doing anything!

Is there a good app available that will give me information about what apps are using the CPU and how much, a bit like the Windows Task Manager?

i just go to settings>battery >battery usage. it will show you what apps are consuming battery. do you want something morecomprehensive?

Thanks for reply, but I was hoping for something like the Windows Task Manager, where it shows running processes and the amount of cpu being used in real-time.

Thanks for the suggestion but, sadly, this still doesn't offer what I need as it only gives information about RAM usage and not cpu.

I have tried many task manager/system monitor apps and come to the conclusion that this is simply not available 😢

yeah that is pretty much all there is for android. is there an issue with your device? are you having battery life issues? or running out of room?

Now and again, the tablet will run very slow.

I have a widget that shows RAM and cpu usage - the cpu can be running high (70+%) and I am not doing anything. Clearly, something is running in the background gobbling up the resources and I would like to find out what it is!
