📲 Samsung (One UI): keep TikTask reliable with battery and background settings

Fix late or missed schedules on Samsung by disabling “sleeping apps” for TikTask and setting battery mode to Unrestricted.

Samsung phones are usually reliable, but One UI has a few settings that can quietly delay scheduling apps, especially if power saving features are enabled.

This guide helps you fix the common Samsung issues in a simple, non-technical way.

What we’re fixing (simple)

  • TikTask may be placed into Sleeping apps or Deep sleeping apps
  • Battery mode may restrict background work
  • Power saving can delay background scheduling
  • Notifications may be disabled (so you don’t see alerts)

5-minute Samsung checklist (do in order)

1) Set TikTask battery mode to Unrestricted (most important)

Goal: don’t let Samsung delay schedules.

1
Open TikTask battery settings
Go to Settings → Apps → TikTask → Battery.

Open TikTask battery settings.
2
Choose Unrestricted
Set TikTask to Unrestricted. If you don’t see Unrestricted, choose the option that means “not optimized”.

2) Remove TikTask from Sleeping apps / Deep sleeping apps

Goal: prevent Samsung from freezing TikTask in the background.

1
Open Background usage limits
Go to Settings → Battery and device care → Battery → Background usage limits.
Samsung Battery menu showing Background usage limits
Find Background usage limits.
2
Remove TikTask from Sleeping and Deep sleeping lists
Open Sleeping apps and Deep sleeping apps. If TikTask is there, remove it.

Make sure TikTask is not in Sleeping apps.

Make sure TikTask is not in Deep sleeping apps.

Goal: TikTask can run normally when the phone is locked. Some Samsung versions show background activity controls in app settings.

  • Go to Settings → Apps → TikTask
  • If you see a background activity toggle, allow it
  • If you use mobile data, ensure background data is not blocked

4) Make sure Power saving isn’t breaking schedules

Power saving is fine, but some modes can delay background work. For testing, temporarily turn Power saving OFF, then schedule a quick test (2 minutes from now).

Optional: turn Power saving off briefly to test scheduling.

5) Enable notifications

Notifications help you see alerts and warnings when something blocks a task.

1
Enable TikTask notifications
Go to Settings → Notifications → App notifications → TikTask, then turn notifications ON.

Turn notifications ON for TikTask.
  1. Create a schedule for 2 minutes from now
  2. Lock your phone
  3. Wait and confirm it runs on time

If it still runs late

  • Restart your phone once
  • Re-check Sleeping apps and Deep sleeping apps (Samsung often moves apps there)
  • Use the general Reliability checklist guide if needed
