Disable Battery Optimization for Individual Apps on Android
You know that Android 6.0 and higher devices include battery optimization features. Battery optimization is a setting that helps conserve battery power and is turned on by default; even if it sounds great, let me tell you something. What it practically does is hibernate apps when you’re not using them.
Limiting the background activity for apps can actually help you when it comes to enjoying a better battery life, but the truth is that not all apps are always running in the background because they’re poorly designed, while some apps, like Tasker, or Auto Shazam, really need to run in the background at all times – these are all VPN services.
