There's not a single way to describe how to verify if Ring is running on your Android device, but typically it would always be running after you started it manually (or at startup, as can be configured in the settings), so long as it doesn't get put to sleep by Android for energy saving[0]. Even if you "close" the app in the multi-task view by swiping it off the screen, it will still run in the background and should be able to receive messages or calls. On my device, I can check that Ring is indeed running by checking which apps are using memory by visiting the following menus: Settings -> Memory -> Memory used by apps, and there it gives me a rough idea of what is running (although it's not in real time...). This will vary on your particular device and Android version. Hope that helps! Maxim [0] To prevent this, there is usually a way to whitelist which apps shouldn't be put to sleep by the Android power saving features. On my particular device it can be set by visiting Settings -> Power -> Battery usage. There, you can click on Ring, then on "Battery optimization" and select "Don't optimize". The exact way to do this will again depend on your exact device and Android flavor.
