Battery protector
Many device manufacturers introduced battery protectors or battery-saving options in Android 8 and later devices. When turned on, this feature turns off the Anti-Phishing functionality in ESET Mobile Security. On devices with this feature, you must create an exception to allow the ESET Mobile Security Anti-Phishing functionality to work with the battery-saving feature turned on. To create an exception, check your device manufacturer's documentation.
