Battery optimization for apps
When you have connections such as Wi-Fi on while the phone is in sleep mode, some apps may still
continue to use the battery. Starting from Android 6.0, battery optimization is enabled for all apps
by default which helps prolong battery standby time when you're not using the phone.
The phone needs to be sitting idle for an extended period of time before battery optimization takes
effect.
