It's weird how this can be an issue in both directions.
There are times when I don't want the OS to kill an app, and the OS can often fail in this aspect, causing loss of control.
However even more frustratingly, I've increasingly noticed that apps I only need rarely, maybe once a day, once a month, once a year, will still run in the background even with setting the app's battery settings in the OS to restricted.
There is _nothing_ I can do to stop them from running, except uninstall them, but that's a pain for apps I have no choice but to use, even if rarely.
This is a problem even on GrapheneOS which increases user control. You could temporarily disable apps, but it is such a tedious process that uninstalling might be easier.
- SwiftyBug 3y agoPerhaps the OS recognizes those apps you use less as the ones that historically cause the least impact on battery, hence allowing them to run on background? If that is the case, this is pretty dumb.
