How to prevent StaffCounter PRO from being stopped by built-in power-saving programs.

 

Since Android 6, all the phones have built-in power-saving programs. They stop background processes automatically so the phone could work longer without recharging. The monitoring applications work in the background and don’t have any elements on the screen. Therefore they can be stopped first.

To prevent it, even at the setup stage, you should allow the program to work in the background and not save battery. If you did not do this then, you can do it now. Open Phone Settings, Applications, menu, and Special access section.

Optimize battery usage.

Instead of “Apps not optimized” select “All applications”

Find System Android and Support Android and for each select “Do not save” (uncheck them)

This is the general scheme. But different phones may have different settings. Next, we will tell you how to disable the built-in power-saving systems for the StaffCounter PRO program on different phones.
