Just curious if you disable background activity for the app are you still able to listen to an audiobook with the screen off?

@lukeIam commented on GitHub (Feb 4, 2023):

ok, there is no real "off" - my Android offers me:

  • "Unrestricted"
  • "Optimized" (The standard for every app)
  • "Restricted"

I was listening to three books without any problem with "Optimized" (just didn't change anything).
But out of curiosity I just checked "Restricted" -> playback seems to work (or the playback keeps the app alive).
But as I want to download books I'll switch back to "Unrestricted".
