## Android 14

If you see background processing issues, overall it is a good idea to make your app _not battery optimized_ to ensure it gets the freedom it needs to perform in the background.


For that:

1. Go to **Settings > Apps > _Your app_ > App battery usage**

2. Ensure that the toggle switch next to **Allow background usage** is enabled.

3. Tap on the words **Allow background usage**. This opens a "hidden" menu.

4. Choose **Unrestricted**.

This is rather duplicative with the paragraphs below. Ideas as to how to improve by combining text would be appreciated.

I really don't think so, this is already golden.
You cannot imagine just how much I searched for this setting on my phone (this should be also referenced in the Sony/Xperia page), only to then figure out the fucking label of the toggle was a menu button itself.



## Android P

There's a special option in **Settings > Apps > Your app > Advanced > Battery > Background restrictions**. If users accidentally enable this option, it will break their apps. And users do enable that option!
