If there is "Display pop-ups from background permission" option on your phone, make sure the option has been allowed.
Here can you see how to find the option:
- Go to the Settings of the phone > App & services > Apps > AirDroid
- Permissions > Display pop-ups from background > Allow
NOTE:
- Background tasks will consume a device's limited resources, like RAM and battery. So the Android OS system will handle the task killer when memory is low and very deliberately doesn't allow you or app developers to control the background task killer. That's why we can't keep AirDroid Personal service permanently alive in the background.
