Realme autostart app setting for Auto Message After Call
The realme autostart app setting, called Auto launch in realme UI, lets an app start on its own. Auto Message After Call needs it, plus background activity, on realme phones.
The realme autostart app setting is Auto launch in realme UI; turning it on, with Allow background activity, keeps Auto Message After Call working.
Realme phones run realme UI, which grew out of OPPO's ColorOS and shares its firm approach to background apps. Realme's own support pages describe the two controls that matter. Auto launch lets an app start automatically when the phone turns on, so you receive its messages without opening it; in realme UI 3.0 it is under Settings, Apps, Auto launch, and in versions 1.0 and 2.0 under App Management, Auto-launch apps. Allow background activity removes restrictions and optimisations on an app's background work, which realme notes may increase power use; it is under Settings, Battery, Battery usage, then the app. Auto Message After Call needs both, because it must be ready when a call ends, including after a restart. Realme also warns that turning off auto launch and associated launch can stop an app's information arriving, which is exactly what happens to messages after calls.
Realme autostart app steps
- Open Settings, Apps, Auto launch, and switch on Auto Message After Call (older realme UI: App Management, Auto-launch apps).
- Open Settings, Battery, Battery usage, choose the app and turn on Allow background activity.
- Leave Associated launch on if your phone shows it.
- Reboot, keep the app closed afterwards, and have someone ring you; the WhatsApp should still go out.
Realme describes allowing background activity and setting app auto launch in its support pages.

Realme autostart app FAQ
How to enable auto start apps?
On realme UI 3.0, open Settings, Apps, Auto launch and switch on the app. Older versions use App Management, Auto-launch apps.
What does app auto launch mean on Android?
Auto launch gives an app permission to wake up on its own, such as when the phone boots, instead of waiting for you to tap its icon.
Is Realme UI good or bad?
It is a full-featured Android skin, but it limits background apps firmly, so call-related apps need these settings.
Why is my realme phone restarting automatically?
Scheduled power on and off or a software issue can cause it. After any restart, auto launch makes sure this app starts again.
What is associated launch?
A realme setting that lets apps start each other. Realme notes that turning it off can stop app information from arriving.
Does allowing background activity drain the battery?
Realme notes it may increase power use; for an app that mostly waits for calls, the effect is small.
Do I need both auto launch and background activity?
Yes. Auto launch starts the app after a restart; background activity stops realme UI from pausing it later.
Is the setting the same on Narzo and GT phones?
They run realme UI, so the settings are similar; names vary by version.
Is there a realme video in the app?
The setup guide inside the app has a realme clip that shows these exact screens.
Why does the app stop after clearing recent apps?
Clearing can stop unlocked apps. Lock the app in recents to protect it.
Can I search for the setting?
Yes. Search Settings for 'auto launch' or 'background activity'.
Is realme UI the same as ColorOS?
It is based on it, so the OPPO guide is a useful reference for similar screens.
Do I need Accessibility too?
Only to send messages without a tap; it is a separate setting.
Do updates reset auto launch?
Occasionally. Check it after a major update if messages stop.
How do I check it works?
Restart the phone without opening the app, then take a test call and look for the WhatsApp.
