* Go to: `Settings → Apps → [Your Agent app] → Battery`\
  Set it to “Unrestricted” or “Allow in background”
* Enable all background and autostart settings (varies by brand)

***

### 5. **Admin app is not showing updated data**

**Possible causes:**

* The Agent device hasn’t synced yet
* Data upload is delayed due to the network or system queue

**Solutions:**

* Check the internet connection on both devices
* Use the Admin app or cPanel to send a manual “Sync Now” request

***

### 6. **Cannot log in to the PermissionAdmin app or Control Panel**

**Possible causes:**

* Incorrect email or password
* Account not yet activated

**Solutions:**

* Use “Forgot Password” to reset credentials

***

### 7. **Photos or media are not backed up**

* On Android 11+, `MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` permission is required

**Solutions:**

* Make sure any file manager or security app does not restrict the app

***

### 8. **Play Protect warning: “Unverified app” or “Potentially dangerous”**

**Explanation:**

* The Agent app is installed outside of Google Play so that Play Protect may issue a generic warning.

**Solutions:**

* Temporarily disable Play Protect during installation.
* Always download the APK from our official website to ensure safety.
