Android Battery Savings Settings

Android Battery Saving Settings

Most Android devices have a built-in battery optimizer which manages the device’s apps in order to conserve battery. Unfortunately, these Battery Optimization settings terminate background apps including fitness apps, mileage tracking apps as well as push notifications in My Family Hand School Calendar Assistant. While the settings differ for each device, you will usually find these settings under Battery Optimization, Doze, (Deep) Sleeping apps and Battery Saver. 

Below will help you find and exclude My Family Hand from the battery optimization settings on your Android phone.
