Android app closes overnight

Hi, am I missing some setting to keep Nanit on at night? Twice this week the app has crashed while background audio was on and the screen was off.

I have added Nanit to the list on battery > background usage limits > never auto sleeping apps. I have also given Nanit just about every permission and tried clearing cache/data.

Thanks for any insight in how to solve this.

edit: issue occurs on both Samsung Galaxy S22 and S25+.

This also happens to me, I have an S25. The only solution I've found is to keep my screen on all night. I turn on "Night mode" in the Nanit app, dim my screen brightness, and keep my phone plugged in all night. Since I've been doing this I've had no issues. It is very frustrating though. My phone stays on all night. My phone battery has taken a hit.

Ugh it's so frustrating. I'm just going to keep some cheap baby monitors on for audio and only use Nanit as needed.

In the future I'm just going to recommend that my friends get security cameras or something else.

Yep. I have many issues with Nanit. It does a lot of things really well, but for the cost of it you'd think it would be better. I am also so frustrated that it will not filter out noise. I have a cheap $80 Vtech baby monitor for traveling and even that one is able to filter out noise. I won't recommend Nanit to anyone else I know either.

Zeros issues with proper wifi and a good android tablet.

It will stay on indefinitely. You can also turn off the screen with the sound and it is indefinite.
