It's not the most fluid UX ( but then again it's not something you need every day so it makes sense to have it a few levels deep), but in Android, since many versions ago, you can go to Settings - Apps - app - Allow/Disallow auto-launch, background running, etc. From the same place you can also revoke permissions, and some Android skins have views with all apps that have access to X and Y.

Hm, I can't find that. It's slightly different, eg Settings -> Apps and notifications, then either go into individual apps or "App Permissions". The former allows me to force stop apps, which indicates to me that they are running in the background (phone is power cycled every night so they shouldn't be). Nowhere to be seen is any auto-launch or background running. In App permissions, I get a list of permissions (eg Microphone, or Location) and clicking on any of those gets me a list of apps that include that permission, and I can revoke permissions there. Same there, no auto-launch/background. I can go to Battery -> Battery optimisation -> app -> and pick eg "optimise" that restricts background usage, but I guess doesn't disable it. I'm on a Oneplus 7 pro phone, which has android 11, OxygenOS 11.0.6.1...
