Not used the Waste App in the last three days? If so, the installed software version will change the settings in such a way that you no longer receive push notifications (“Power-saving mode”). To prompt the app to continue working as normal, you’ll need to deactivate “Battery optimisation” for the Waste App.
Deactivating app optimisation for the Waste App
To deactivate app optimisation on your smartphone, carry out the following steps:
- Open Settings
- Tap on “Apps”
- Settings (small button in the lower centre of the screen)
- “Advanced” > “Special Access”
- Ignore battery optimisation
- Go to “Allowed”
- Tap “All apps”
- Waste App
- Allow
- OK
Important!
After deactivating app optimisation, please do the following:
- Restart the device
- Start the Waste App
- Refresh the information about your local area and types of waste
Your reminders should now be working again, since power-saving mode has been deactivated for the app.
