Lock running apps to prevent closing them when closing all

Feature RequestInfeasible

I’d like to close all my running apps at once while listening to music, for example via spotify. In that case i’d like to lock an app to prevent it from being closed by closing all apps.

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    Sadly, the “close all apps” functionality is handled by the system natively, thus we cannot exclude any apps from being closed.

    Usually, Android is pretty smart about which apps it keeps open and closes or hibernates apps you haven’t used for a if the system or other apps need the resources currently open apps are using.

    See this article for more information:
