Enabling background restriction in apps

In some apps, you can enable background restriction to prevent them from using the battery while running in the background.

Note: When background restriction is enabled, the restricted apps may not work as usual and notifications may be delayed.

1. From the Home screen, tap Settings > Apps & notifications.
2. Under Recently opened apps, tap an app you want to configure.

   If you don't see the desired app, tap See all ___ apps, then tap the app that you want.

3. On the App info screen, tap Advanced > Battery
4. Under Manage battery usage, tap Background restriction.
5. Tap Restrict.

Repeat the above steps to turn on background restriction in other apps.

Checking which apps are battery restricted

1. On the Home screen, tap Settings.
2. Tap Battery > Adaptive Battery.
3. Tap Restricted apps to see the list of battery restricted apps.
   Note:

   • You'll see this option only when there are apps running in the background that you've restricted from using the battery.
