🟣 Honor / Huawei: auto-start and background settings for reliable scheduling
Honor and Huawei phones can block auto-start and background activity. Do these settings once to keep TikTask reliable.

Short answer
If TikTask is late or misses schedules on Honor or Huawei, open System Monitor first and complete the recommended fixes for your phone. If the issue remains, use the manual fallback steps below for battery optimization, background activity, optional auto-start or App launch rules, and notifications.
Honor and Huawei phones can be strict with background activity. That can delay schedules or stop them completely, especially after you lock the phone or restart it.
You only need to do this once. After that, TikTask becomes reliable.
ℹ️
Tip
If menu names look different on your phone, use the Search bar in Settings and type the word in bold (Auto-start, App launch, Battery, Notifications).
What we’re fixing (simple)
- Auto-start can be disabled
- Background activity can be restricted
- Battery optimization can delay schedules
- Notifications can be blocked (so you miss alerts)
5-minute checklist (do in order)
1) Enable Accessibility (required)
If you already enabled Accessibility for TikTask, you can skip this step.
1
Turn TikTask Accessibility ON
Go to Settings → Accessibility → Installed services, then turn TikTask ON.
2) Set TikTask battery mode to Unrestricted / Not optimized (most important)
1
Open TikTask battery settings
Go to Settings → Apps → TikTask → Battery.
2
Choose Unrestricted / Allow / Not optimized
Select the option that means TikTask is not restricted (wording varies by model).
3) Enable Auto-start / App launch (very important)
Honor/Huawei phones often have a Startup or App launch manager. TikTask must be allowed there.
1
Open App launch settings
Search Settings for “App launch”, “Auto-launch”, or “Startup manager”.
2
Allow TikTask to start and run in background
Disable “Manage automatically” for TikTask (if shown), then enable Auto-launch, Secondary launch, and Run in background (names may vary).
4) Allow background activity
Make sure background activity is not restricted for TikTask.
- Go to Settings → Apps → TikTask → Battery
- Enable “Allow in background” if shown
- Avoid any “restrict background” option for TikTask
5) Enable notifications (recommended)
1
Turn TikTask notifications ON
Go to Settings → Notifications → App notifications → TikTask, then turn notifications ON.
Quick test (recommended)
- Create a schedule for 2 minutes from now
- Lock your phone
- Wait and confirm it runs on time
💡
Honor/Huawei tip
On these phones, step 3 (App launch / Auto-start) is usually the real fix. Don’t skip it.
