messages. To turn Battery saver on or set it up to turn on
automatically, go to

Android Marshmallow includes several other automatic
battery optimizations that are usually in effect. These include:
Doze reduces battery usage when your device is not use, not
charging, and not moving.
App Standby lets Android reduce battery-draining activities of
apps that you haven’t used for a long period of time (when
your device isn’t charging).
Doze and App Standby do not have separate settings. They
are two of several battery optimizations that are in effect by
default in most situations. However, you can stop all battery
optimizations for an individual app, for example to ensure
that it’s always functioning at peak performance, even when
you’re not using it.
