Why can’t I return to the WebLink Home screen when I press the “Home” button in Cast when using my Xiaomi Android device?
This is a known limitation related to Xiaomi’s battery management and background apps handling. In order to be able to return to the WebLink Home screen during Cast, follow these steps:
- Allow Overlay permission for WebLink Host App
- Long-press the WebLink Host App icon and navigate to Other permissions
- Inside Other permissions, enable Display pop-up window and Display pop-up windows while running in the background permissions
Additionally, follow these steps for each app for a better user-experience:
- Access the App info
- Navigate to Battery saver
- Change the default setting (usually MIUI Battery saver) to No restrictions
If the above steps didn’t help resolve your issue, you might also need to go through the following steps:
- While both WebLink Host App and Waze are open, access and expand the list of currently running apps.
- Long-press each app until a set of icons appears.
- Select the lock icon for both WebLink Host App and Waze. As a result, the apps will be locked in the background and won’t be accidentally cleared by MIUI battery optimization
