Keep it running in the background with root privileges.

[MiaoluoYuanlina]

Describe the feature

GPT Translate: I hope the app can use root privileges to maintain its background process and enable auto-start on boot. I’ve found that on my phone, even after granting all permissions, the app still cannot keep running in the background.

希望应用可以使用root权限保住自己的后台和开机自启动，我发现在我的手机上，就算给予了应用全部权限，应用依然无法保持后台运行。

Use cases

Google Translate: Granting root privileges in root managers such as Magisk, KernelSU, and Sukisu Ultra will allow the app to run completely in the background.

在Magisk，KernelSU，sukisu ultra等root管理器给予root权限即可完全保持后台运行。

Examples

Anything else?

My phone：OnePlus 15
Android version：Android 16
system：ColorOS 16
The root manager I'm using：sukisu ultra

You need to disable the battery optimisation for the app

Allow background access and turn off 'battery optimizations' for the app.
You can check background access in Settings > Companion app. The setting should show a check mark ✔️.
Some manufacturers may add additional battery saving features (ex: Power Saving), make sure to disable all of those as well. You can usually access these from the system settings app.
