I noticed that all the apps on my Pixel 8 has the “Allow background usage” option enabled. Didn’t this use to be an opt-in setting?

I’m worried that something got messed up when I had to do a copy from my Pixel 8 (Android 15) to my old Pixel 5 (Android 14) and back to my Pixel 8 again (I had to factory reset my Pixel 8 before sending it in for repair).

    Thanks. I might just do that.

    I was wondering if the system is doing some kind of app profiling, and if it automatically will remove the permission from the apps some time in the future? Like it does with other app permissions on unused apps…
