Background Recording Without Keeping Screen Awake

Allow the Heidi app to continue recording in the background even when the phone screen locks or the app is not in the foreground.

Q1: Ideally, 1) I would like to use only one device - only my phone, to do consults. With the convenience of putting a phone in my pocket and quickly run for the door in case of safety issue when I do Home Medicines Reviews. 2) I prefer to have the phone goes dark after 10minutes of inactivity, still, by default (I do not press the button to lock the screen), to protect everything that I have on my phone - banking and emails in the unlikely event that someone else while I am doing the consult, get a hold of my phone. 3) I will stop the app from recording manually at the end of each consult, e.g. after I get into the car from the client's house. Until I pause/stop it, I prefer to have the recording continuously Q2: There won't be battery issue as a) I always have the battery at minimum 50% b) the phone gets charged in the car in between consults (driving to the next house). c) from experience, one hour consult does not drain my battery out that much. Q3: Yes, receiving alert as notifications will be wonderful!
I enjoy spend time with my clients and maintain eye contact and Heidi helps me make it possible. Thank you!
