Yes, RISE works best when the app is running in the background. You don't need to keep RISE open on-screen — just avoid force-closing it by swiping it away from your recent apps.
What happens if I force-close RISE?
If RISE has been swiped away, your phone can't deliver sleep and activity updates to RISE until the next time you open the app. This can cause delays or inconsistencies with features like morning notifications, sleep detection, and the Smart Alarm.
Will leaving RISE running drain my battery?
Phones are designed to manage background apps efficiently. RISE running in the background uses minimal resources.
