Prevent apps from running in the background

Brevent - Control Background Apps on Android

"Brevent" is an Android app that helps users prevent applications from running in the background. It utilizes app-standby and force-stop methods to manage app activity without needing root access. Compatible with Android 6 to Android 13, Brevent allows users to set apps to receive notifications and sync jobs while preventing unwanted background processes, thereby improving device performance and battery life. It requires USB debugging and is effective even when apps are swiped from the recent screen.

I am writing to seek assistance regarding some issues I am encountering with Brevent. When I click on "Wireless Debugging," no notification appears on my phone, making it difficult to proceed. Additionally, my phone does not support split-screen functionality, which limits my ability to use certain features. I would greatly appreciate your guidance on how to resolve these concerns or any alternative methods that may be available.
