The more unused apps there are running in the background, the more power your battery will use. Background usage limits can be set to reduce battery consumption. To manage these settings:
Go to Settings > Device Care > Battery > Background usage limits.
You can choose from the following settings:
- Put unused apps to sleep which will automatically put apps to sleep if they have not been used for a while.
- Sleeping apps allows you to choose the apps that won't run in the background. You can view your current sleeping apps as well.
- Deep sleeping apps will never run in the background and will only work when you open them.
- Never sleeping apps allows you to choose which apps will not automatically be set to sleeping mode.
