How to keep AirDroid Kids running in the background on Android devices? – AirDroid Support Center

Generally, keeping the AirDroid Kids process running on the devices' backgrounds is the key to maintaining its usage.

Note: if you use the following brand devices, please check the instructions below to set up your devices.

Follow the guidance when you first-time open AirDroid Kids (enabled permissions needed).

1. Keep WLAN Always on during sleep

You can find the option on Settings > WLAN or Wi-Fi > Advanced or additional settings.

2. Turn on "Autostart" or "Auto-launch"

You can find the option on Settings > Battery or Apps or Permissions. If not, you can check it on the Phone Manager or Security Manager.

3. Turn on "Run in background" (Or add AirDroid Kids to the allowlist of Cleanup)

You can find the option on Settings > Battery or Apps or Permissions. If not, you can check it on the Phone Manager or Security Manager.

4. Turn off "Power saving mode" and Disable "Battery optimization"

5. Make sure the network connection hasn't been restricted.

Search and go to "Unrestricted data" settings, and make sure AirDroid Kids hasn't been restricted.

6. Turn off the Accessibility menu shortcut.

Search and go to "Accessibility menu", and make sure the Accessibility menu shortcut has been Off.

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 the AirDroid Kids service permanently alive in the background.
Besides, the special case below will cause a connection problem too:
- Device power-off.
- AirDroid Kids has been uninstalled.
- There is no network on the device.
