How To Keep An App Running In The Background Android - Battery life is very important, but some Android phones try too hard to stretch it. You may notice that the app is running poorly or that notifications are missing due to being deleted in the background. We'll show you how to stop it.

Why does Android delete apps in the background?

Android makers have a choice. Allow free running apps in the background, which can hurt battery life, or remove background running apps they think you don't need. If your phone takes the latter approach, you may miss notifications for apps that are being uninstalled. Very annoying.

This issue is so well documented that the "Don't Kill My App!" It was created by the app developer. They are sick of hearing complaints from users about their apps not working properly when the culprit is phone battery "optimization".

How to stop Android delete apps in the background?

Don't kill my app! This website has specific instructions for different device manufacturers, but we'll show you a universal method that works on all of them. This method alone may not be enough to solve all your problems, but it is a good start.

• First, swipe down once from the top of the screen and tap the gear icon.
• Scroll down and find "Applications".
• Then tap the three-dot menu icon and select "Special Access". If you don't see it, there will be a section on that screen titled "Special Access to Apps".
• Now select "Optimize battery usage".
• First, it will show all the apps that are not optimized. This application can run in the background. Tap the drop-down arrow next to "Non-Optimized Apps" and select "All".
• Now you can find any app that is behaving improperly or has no notifications and turn off the toggle.
  

That's all! The app will no longer be "optimized", in other words, it will be removed in the background if you don't use it enough.
