To ensure that your photos and files continue uploading even after you leave the app, follow these device-specific requirements. Mobile operating systems often restrict background activity to save battery, so these settings are necessary for a seamless experience.

On iOS, background tasks are heavily restricted. For uploads to succeed, the app must remain in a Background state but not a Terminated state.

Android allows more flexibility, but many manufacturers (especially Samsung) use "Adaptive Battery" features that can put the app to sleep if it isn't used frequently.

Samsung Devices (Android 11, 12, 13+)

To prevent Samsung's optimization from stopping your uploads:

Option A: Set Battery to Unrestricted

1. Go to Settings > Apps.
2. Locate and select SharinPix.

     3. Tap on Battery.

     4. Change the setting from "Optimized" to Unrestricted.

Option B: Add to "Never Sleeping Apps"

1. Go to Settings > Battery and device care > Battery > Backgoround usage Limit

    2. Tap Never sleeping apps.

    3.Tap the + icon, find SharinPix, and tap Add.

Most other Android brands follow a similar "Unrestricted" setting path:

Google Pixel: 

 1. Open Settings > Apps > See all apps

 2. Select SharinPix > App Battery Usage

 3. Enable Allow background usage

Low Power Mode: Both iOS and Android will disable background uploads if the device is in "Low Power Mode" or "Battery Saver" mode.

Internet Connection: Background uploads require a stable Wi-Fi or Cellular data connection. If the connection is lost, the upload will pause and resume once you are back online.
