Frequently Asked Question

Since Android Marshmallow, it supports a feature called “Doze mode,” which
prevents certain tasks from running if you’re Android device has been sitting
idle for a while. The idea here is to save battery life by reducing power draw
while you aren’t using your phone.

But if you have a particular app that you want to leave running unchecked,
no matter what, you can disable Doze mode for that app. Here’s how to do it.

Open the Settings app and tap Battery. Tap the Options menu button
(the three dots in the upper right), then tap Battery optimization. Tap the
downward-pointing arrow, then tap All apps from the menu that appears.

Next, tap the name of the app for which you want to switch off
Doze mode, and in the box that appears, tap Don’t optimize.
Once you’re done, tap Done.
