For VPN apps like VeePN to run stably, it's crucial that the operating system doesn't close them in the background. The aggressive battery management on OnePlus devices (running OxygenOS) can unexpectedly interrupt VeePN's functionality.
This guide will help you disable battery optimization for VeePN to ensure uninterrupted and reliable protection.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Find the VeePN app icon on your home screen or in the app drawer and press and hold it for a few seconds.
- In the context menu that appears, tap the "i" (App info) icon.
- You will be taken to the "App info" screen. Scroll down and find the "Battery usage" option and tap on it.
- On this screen, you need to change two key settings to allow VeePN to run without restrictions:
- Allow background activity:
1) Enable the toggle switch next to this option.
2) A pop-up window will appear asking: "Allow all background activity for "VeePN"?".
3) Tap "Allow".
- Allow auto launch: Enable the toggle switch next to this option. This will allow VeePN to start automatically when you restart your phone.
- Done! Now, the VeePN app has all the necessary permissions to run stably in the background, and the OnePlus system will not force-close it to save battery.
