Allow apps to freely run in the background, which may harm battery life, or judiciously kill apps running in the background they think you don\u2019t need. If your phone takes the latter approach, you\u2019ve probably missed notifications from apps being killed. It\u2019s very annoying.<\/p>\n<p>This problem is so well-documented that the website \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dontkillmyapp.com\/\">Don\u2019t Kill My App!<\/a>\u201d was created by app developers. They were sick of hearing complaints from users about their apps not working correctly when the culprit is the phone\u2019s battery \u201coptimzations.\u201d The site ranks Android manufacturers by how bad they manage this. Samsung is a top offender, while <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/95130\/pixel-phones-could-see-battery-health-improvements-with-android-12\/\">Google is one of the best<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/95130\/pixel-phones-could-see-battery-health-improvements-with-android-12\/\"><strong><em>Pixel Phones Could See Battery Health Improvements with Android 12<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Stop_It\"><\/span>How to Stop It<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dontkillmyapp.com\/\">Don\u2019t Kill My App!<\/a> website has specific instructions for a number of device manufacturers, but we\u2019ll 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\u2019s a good start.
