  • 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 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.
