Generating alert to User when didReceiveMemoryWarning is called

Question

I\'ve seen some apps that generate a warning when low memory is detected. I tried to do this in my app but ran into a problem. Using the simulator to simulate a memory warning

Answer 1

Generally speaking, you shouldn't notify a user about low memory. After all, what can they do? Your app is the foreground app, which (aside from the Apple apps) is consuming most of the device's memory. What is the user going to do when they see the memory message?

When you get a low memory notification, you should solely focus on freeing memory, without user interaction.
