Setup PanSpy app on Android device

If you don't authorize PanSpy app to run in the background and start automatically, PanSpy might be disabled after the target device gets locked or powered off. And some system settings may optimize the battery life by killing PanSpy app running in the background. So you can follow the guide below to add PanSpy app to system whitelist. The steps vary depends on your device model and OS versions.
