How to STOP Apps Draining Battery in Background on Motorola Phone (Android Tutorial)
1There are several ways to stop apps from draining your battery in the background on a Motorola Android phone. The most effective methods involve using Android's built-in battery management features.
Here is a step-by-step tutorial covering the best options, from simple to advanced:
1. Restrict Background Activity for Specific Apps
This is the most targeted way to prevent specific apps that you rarely use from running in the background.
Open your phone's Settings app.
Tap on Apps or Apps & notifications.
Tap See all apps (you might have to scroll down).
Find and tap the app you want to restrict (e.g., a game or an app you only open occasionally).
Tap on App battery usage or Battery.
You will see options for battery usage:
Unrestricted (allows background activity)
Optimized (system determines background activity based on usage)
Restricted (significantly limits background activity and notifications to save battery)
Select Restricted to prevent the app from using the battery in the background.
Note: For newer Motorola phones, sometimes you need to tap on the words/description of the battery usage setting (not just the toggle) to see the "Unrestricted," "Optimized," and "Restricted" options.
2. Use Adaptive Battery
Adaptive Battery is a native Android feature that learns your usage patterns and automatically limits battery consumption for apps you don't use often.
Open Settings.
Tap Battery.
Tap Adaptive Battery (or sometimes found under Battery Saver).
Ensure the Use Adaptive Battery toggle is switched On.
Note: Motorola phones may also have a separate "Manage background apps" or "Improve battery while inactive" setting, which works similarly to or alongside Adaptive Battery to automatically limit unused apps.
