If it's not a common occurrence, manually run the app after start-up. How often are you restarting your device?[...] it doesn't automatically start sometimes when rebooting on Android. AdGuard is set to auto-start with no restrictions under the battery section. Android 7 is a Redmi phone.
Keep us informed.Any help on this? I'll also install AdGuard Premium on two Android 13 Redmi phones soon and check for the AP auto-start problem.
My phone is damaged, so I'm testing AdGuard on my old phone. This old phone has problems too, which could be the reason for the problem. I'm testing how well it works, notifications I can safely hide, etc., as I will install it on my parents' phones. They shut down their phones at night. I'll post if I had the AdGuard auto-start issue on Android 13 Redmi phones.If it's not a common occurrence, manually run the app after start-up. How often are you restarting your device?

I tried AdGuard on an Android 13 Realme phone, and most of the time AdGuard didn't start when I rebooted the phone. I confirmed AdGuard set to auto-start. battery usage set to unrestricted, super power saving mode set to off, power saver set to off, back light saving set to off, permissions and notifications allowed, and any settings I thought would help. The only thing I couldn't get was "recent apps" locking. I tried holding tap and every direction swipe, but AdGuard maximized instead of displaying the lock option. I tried the solutions in the AdGuard help posted by @Arequire above, but none helped fix the problem.Hiding the persistent notification may prevent Adguard from running in the background.
