App with background usage off somehow still runs in the background

ahacom

ok after a week the most frictionless fix i found for my issue is Force Stopping the app after being done using. Easier than enabling disabling. hope it helps

While this might help with your specific issue, remember that this way you are not giving the app the opportunity to clean after itself.

I also wonder what happens if there is a writing during the Force Stop, I am not sure if you might corrupt some data or not.

Well, when that may work with some apps, it is not universal formula for all ones, and the app still can be awaken from other events. When the app is disabled it simply can't be in running state.

do you mean like memory leak? dont think that happens on gOS

also dont care for any corrupted data its a slop app

and yes it might be bad for others, but works for me so just sharing

hm i didnt know that, do you mean it can run itself after i terminate or an external app has to do it. no alarm permission

I now do disabling and enabling for an app but

i noticed the 'force stop' is still clickable after disabling it. normally this means the app is still running in the bg, is that the case?
do i have to force stop either way when disabling? before or after?

ahacom do you mean like memory leak?

No, more like in garbage not being cleaned

ahacom dont care for any corrupted data its a slop app

Yea, everyone has their own needs, I was just telling that for others to read, just in case this is a thing for them :)

Yes. For example, Viber. It has the restricted battery, background data disabled, only network and notification permissions. No special permissions like alarms and schedules, and despite force close it manages to check for notifications. Maybe the push notifications via Play Services are the culprit, but these are the facts.

ahacom you don't have to force-stop a disabled app since it won't do anything in that state, but for some of us it looks nicer in the apps list.

Hi people after 1 month

I've settled on actually disabling the apps when not in use, its made convenient by having a shortcut to the settings app list and filtering for disabled

but i got confused this morning, messenger was disabled the whole time yet it drained battery? does anyone know about this?? do i have to disable AND force stop?

also for anyone reading a neat trick is to reboot your phone before going to sleep so that you are certain no apps run. i did not do it here.
