How to control Dozing apps

Doze is a new feature designed to significantly increase your battery life by putting your device to sleep when it has been idle for a certain amount of time. You will still get notifications if the developer of the app enables it, though. For example, Gmail and Hangouts will still showcase notifications when in Doze mode.

That’s all fine and dandy, but there might be another app that’s important to you, one you want to see notifications from even while in Doze mode. To enable the feature, simply open Settings and select Battery. Then, tap on the three dot menu in the top-right corner, select Battery Optimization, and tap Not Optimized before selecting All Apps . You can now select the apps that you don’t want optimized for Doze mode. Keep in mind, doing so will hurt your battery, so only do it for the apps that are really important.
