When installing applications, many users face restrictions on their smartphones and tablets. Special problems arise on Xiaomi devices for Android. The user interface restricts background processes and prevents non-standard applications from running.
Some applications do not have an API or documentation. Therefore, the device incorrectly conducts background processing and does not allow specific programs to work correctly.
Today we will explain how to set up your devices to avoid problems when you work with non-custom applications.
