what does RAM in phone do?

[Myun]

I have the samsung galaxy s2, the ram just keeps increasing and i dont know if that is good?
I think its supposed to make it faster right?

What does the ram mean , I mean what does it do not what it stands for.

Do I have to keep it at minimum, it says that I can clear memory but that it will end some applications, what does that mean? - will it delete the apps or just not save informations for example twitter, facebook accounts..?

it does the same thing as in computers. it stores the data needed for a app in a much faster storage for increased performance. ram- random access memory. increased ram usage means you have more apps running. it would be better to use less ram. by clearing ram you wont delete any apps. you would only end the process. just like task manager in windows.
