Should TeamViewer Host always start automatically in Android 11

Basic question.

Should TeamViewer Host always start automatically in Android 11, when phone is started (phone model Motorola Moto G 5G Plus)

If yes, before or after typing PIN code?

(In Android 11 there's no possibility to automatically start apps from phone settings, but app itself must do that, or then one must use external app, e.g. AutoStart

Hi @jjylonen,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the Community✨

On Android devices, there is no "Start on boot" function like on Windows.

To be more specific, the Host app will not start automatically when the device starts (is turned on).

If it is the device's first time running, you will need to start the Host app. Once started, it should stay running.

♻️ Eco-mode ♻️

Alternatively, Eco mode would be useful for this case.

If you have Eco mode turned on, then the app stays off. In this case, the device shows as YELLOW in your list. When you try to connect, it signals Google to turn the app on, then the host starts.

This saves battery because the Host can stay off and the phone does not need to stay awake.

Please note that this requires Google Play Services.

If Eco Mode is OFF

You need to make sure the app is exempt from the battery and power-saving settings, or else the OS will put the app to sleep and it will turn off.
