When you move an Android app from the foreground to the background, that app is considered suitable to be "put to sleep". After all, it can't be doing anything useful when you aren't watching.

My guess: the update is being more aggressive about throttling background apps in order to save battery or to recover memory needed for the foreground app. I don't know if this new behavior can be tuned.

As an example, Android 7 (Nougat) has an option that controls "background processing" on an app-by-app basis, set in the Battery section of settings. It also has a "Battery Saver" option and the option to keep wifi on during sleep. It might be that the update has some of these features, but without a way to turn them off.

No setting for optimization.
Well, so much for that idea.

Are you running a stock version of Android or some custom version? I ask because I can't find any update information less than 2 years old for your device.
