Stop Android From Killing Background Apps

 

How to Stop It

The Don’t Kill My App! website has specific instructions for a number of device manufacturers, but we’ll show you the universal method that works across all of them. This method alone may not be enough to solve all your problems, but it’s a good start. We’ll be demonstrating on a Samsung phone.

First, swipe down once from the top of the screen and tap the gear icon.

Scroll down and find “Apps.”

Next, 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 App Access.”

Now select “Optimize Battery Usage.”

First, it will display all the apps that are not optimized. These apps are allowed to run in the background. Tap the drop-down arrow next to “Apps Not Optimized” and select “All.”

Now you can find any app that has been misbehaving or missing notifications and switch the toggle off.

That’s it!
