Hi there,

i have recently purchased Blokada 6 for Android but quite often, after some time of inactvitiy/not using the phone, the app looks - and probably is - inactive (the relevant icon in the android settings page is grey). If I double tap on this icon I end up on the main Blokada page where it says “tap to activate”.  
Such behaviour has been going on since day one of my subscription.

Also, after activating, the data for “adds blocked in the last 24 hours” are no longer shown.

Finally, in the app settings, the “suspend app when inactive” option is NOT SELECTED.  
Any suggestion?

Thanks, ciao  
Enrico

Redmi Note 10 Pro  
Android ver.: TKQ 1.221013.002  
MIUI 14.0.9  
Blokada 6 ver.25.4.9

Hello,  
a few questions:

- 

> the relevant icon in the android settings page is grey

Could you send a screenshot showing this? I’m not sure what it is.

- 

> Also, after activating, the data for “adds blocked in the last 24 hours” are no longer shown.

In the app settings, “Activity” section, do you have the “Yes, store my activity” option always active?

- 

> in the app settings, the “suspend app when inactive” option is NOT SELECTED

Do you mean the main phone settings (Applications section) and not the settings **in** our app?

- Do you use our app on multiple devices or just one?

MIUI was once known for its aggressive background app killing. I don’t currently have access to a phone with this system, so the information below may not be entirely accurate.

**Battery saver:**  
Settings → Battery → Battery saver → Apps  
(or Settings → Apps → Manage apps → Blokada 6 → Battery saver in some builds)

Choose: No restrictions  
Avoid: Battery saver, Restrict background activity, MIUI optimized restrictions  
MIUI 14 is still strict even in “optimized” modes.

* * *

**Autostart:**  
Settings → Apps → Manage apps → Blokada 6 → Autostart  
Turn ON  
If autostart is off, MIUI may block background processes after screen-off.

* * *

**Background Permissions:**  
Settings → Apps → Manage apps → Blokada 6 → Permissions

Check these:  
Background activity - Allowed  
Run in background - Allowed  
If either is blocked, MIUI 14 will terminate the app after a few minutes of inactivity.

* * *

**Memory Cleaner:**  
MIUI 14 still kills unlocked apps when you clear recent tasks. To prevent that:  
Open Recent apps → Hold the app window or swipe down → Tap the lock icon

You must see a padlock icon. Locked apps persist even when MIUI cleans RAM.

* * *

**Battery profiles:**  
Some MIUI builds include options like (Settings → Battery → Settings):  
-Clear cache when device is locked  
-Restrict apps when device is locked  
-Sleep mode  
-Schedule battery saver

Set “Battery saver when device is locked” to Never and disable all automatic cleanup or scheduled saving modes.

Hi Thomash, thanks I’ll have a deeper look in the options you mentioned.

As to your questions

- _the relevant icon in the android settings page is grey_: it’s one of the icons you see when you swipe down from the top (wifi, bluetooth, hotspot, NFC, silent, …). The “shield” icon is greyed out; _sometimes_ it turns back on (blue icon) on it’s own after a few seconds
- _Also, after activating, the data for “adds blocked in the last 24 hours” are no longer shown._ SOLVED: I SEE THE COMPLETE STATS AGAIN 😃
- _Do you use our app on multiple devices or just one_? JUST MY PHONE

I’ll continue my search but, as you say, it might be some aggressive behaviour on part of MIUI. In case i’ll let you all know.  
Thank you!

Ciao  
Enrico
