Torque can run continuously in the background, even starting automatically after your phone restarts. To enable this feature, go to Settings > Dash installation settings > Start Torque on reboot in the Torque app. Additionally, remember to disable ‘Battery optimization’ for the Torque app. By following these steps, Torque will connect via Bluetooth to your OBDII adapter seamlessly in the background, eliminating the need to manually interact with your phone.
