Web Guard keeps turning off on Android
LAST UPDATED: MAY 12, 2022
The Web Guard feature of your Mobile Security for Android keeps turning off because your device uses Power Saving Mode to save battery, which stops the running apps.
Here's how to fix it:
- Update your Mobile Security app
- Run a scan, then check if Run in the Background option is available under the Insights tab.
- Tap Set Up, then tap Allow. This setting will allow the Mobile Security to protect you even when the app is closed.
