✅ Android scheduling setup checklist (reliable on all phones)

Do this once to keep TikTask reliable: accessibility, battery settings, notifications, and background permissions.

If you want TikTask to run on time every day, do this checklist once.

Android phones try to save battery by stopping apps in the background. The goal here is simple: tell Android that TikTask is allowed to work on time.

✅

Fastest method: System Monitor

Open TikTask → System Monitor. Tap any item that “needs attention” and TikTask will take you to the right settings screen. Enable it, then return to TikTask to see it turn ON. If asked, confirm you enabled it. If a button doesn’t open the exact page on your phone, use the manual steps mentioned below.

Checklist (do these in order)

1) Enable Accessibility (required)

This is what lets TikTask do actions inside apps (open WhatsApp, paste message, press send).

1. Turn TikTask Accessibility ON

Open TikTask → System Monitor → Tap Accessibility Service, then turn TikTask ON.

Manual path: Settings → Accessibility → Installed services (or Installed apps)
Turn TikTask ON

2) Set TikTask battery mode to Unrestricted (very important)

This prevents Android from delaying tasks.

1. Set battery to Unrestricted

Open TikTask → System Monitor → Tap Battery Monitor, then choose Unrestricted (or “Don’t optimize”).

Manual path: Settings → Apps → TikTask → Battery
Set to Unrestricted / No restrictions (or “Don’t optimize”)

3) Allow Auto-start / App Launch (if your phone has it)

Some phones hide a special switch that blocks schedules. Not all phones have this.

1. Enable Auto-start

Open TikTask → System Monitor → Tap Auto-Start Service, then turn TikTask ON.

Manual path: Search Settings for Auto-start or App Launch (check Power Manager if exists)
Enable it for TikTask
If you can’t find it, skip this step

4) Enable Notifications (recommended)

Notifications help TikTask show status updates and warnings if something blocks a task.

1. Turn notifications ON

Open TikTask → System Monitor → Tap Notification Service, then enable notifications.

Manual path: Settings → Apps → TikTask → Notifications
Enable notifications

5) Allow “Display over other apps” (required for on-screen countdown alerts)

This allows TikTask to show small on-screen alerts above other apps. If you dislike overlays, you can keep this off unless TikTask asks for it.

1. Enable overlays

Open TikTask → System Monitor → Tap Draw Overlays Service, then turn TikTask ON.

Manual path: Settings → Apps → Special access → Display over other apps
Find TikTask and turn it ON

6) Enable Exact alarms (Android 12+ only, if asked)

Some phones require Exact alarms for precise timing. If TikTask asks you about Exact alarms, enable it.

Quick test (recommended)

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

Brand tip

If you use Xiaomi, Tecno, or Infinix, these phones are stricter with background apps. If schedules are still late, follow the brand guide for your phone.
