📱 Xiaomi, Redmi, POCO (MIUI): keep TikTask running reliably

MIUI is aggressive with battery saving. Do these settings once so your schedules run on time.

✅ Create your first TikTask 📝 Xiaomi / Infinix / Tecno reliability checklist

Xiaomi phones are great, but MIUI is very aggressive with battery saving. That’s why scheduling apps can feel random unless you change a few settings.

Don’t worry, you only do this once. After that, TikTask becomes reliable.

ℹ️

Tip

If a menu name is slightly different on your phone, use the Search bar in Settings and type the word in bold (Battery saver, Autostart, Notifications).

What we’re fixing (simple explanation)

MIUI may stop apps from running in the background
MIUI may delay alarms to save battery
Auto-start can be blocked after reboot
Notifications may be limited or hidden

5-minute MIUI checklist (do in order)

1) Turn off Battery restrictions (most important)

Goal: set TikTask to No restrictions so MIUI doesn’t delay schedules.

Option 1: Using System Monitor

Open TikTask → System Monitor → Battery Monitor → Disable battery optimizations

Option 2: Open TikTask battery settings manually

Go to Settings → Apps → Manage apps → TikTask → Battery saver → Set to No restrictions

2) Enable Auto-start (very important)

Goal: allow TikTask to start itself when needed (and after reboot).

Option 1: Using System Monitor

Open TikTask → System Monitor → Auto-Start Service → enable Background Autostart for TikTask

Option 2: Turn Autostart ON manually

In phone settings, search for AutoStart, open it, find TikTask and turn it ON. On some phones: Security app → Manage apps → TikTask → Autostart.

3) Allow background activity

Goal: TikTask can run while the phone is locked. Wording varies by MIUI version.

Use System Monitor → Battery Monitor again if it is showing a warning, or go to Settings → Apps → Manage apps → TikTask → Other Permissions, and turn ON:

✅ Show on Lock Screen

✅ Display pop-up windows

✅ Open new windows while running in the background

4) Lock TikTask in Recent apps (small trick, big impact)

This prevents MIUI from killing TikTask too easily.

Lock TikTask

Open TikTask once, open Recent apps, long-press TikTask, then tap the Lock icon.

5) Make sure notifications are allowed

Even if the task runs, you might miss alerts or status updates if notifications are limited.

Option 1: Using System Monitor

Open TikTask → System Monitor → Notification Service → tap to enable.

Option 2: Enable TikTask notifications manually

Go to Settings → Notifications & Control center → App notifications → TikTask, then enable notifications.

Quick test (recommended)

Create a test schedule for 2 minutes from now
Lock your phone
Wait and confirm it runs on time

If it’s still late on MIUI

Temporarily disable Battery Saver mode while testing
Double-check Settings → Battery → App battery saver and confirm TikTask is No restrictions
