If your device brand is not on the list:

1.  Check if your device has systems that allow/disallow applications auto-start (auto-launch) or priority setup and turn them on for tawk.to app.
2. In the battery, optimization ignores the app, so it won’t be blocked in the background.
3. Inform us about that model.  If you have found a solution, please share it with us so we could update our doc file to help other users.
