# Application
Frequently Asked Questions about the Application.
## What is Tachiyomi Preview?
**Tachiyomi Preview** is a regularly updated beta version of the app.
It showcases potential upcoming features, but it's more prone to bugs and crashes.
Ideal for users seeking the latest **Tachiyomi** experience, it's essential to [enable auto-backup](/docs/guides/backups#enabling-automatic-backups) to prevent library loss due to issues.
## Why aren't library updates working?
Some Android skins (e.g., **MIUI**) aggressively save battery, potentially shutting down apps in the background.
Whitelist **Tachiyomi** from your battery saver by going to <nav to="advanced"> and tapping **Disable battery optimization**.
If unsuccessful, try [DontKillMyApp](https://dontkillmyapp.com/) for battery-saving options on your device and workarounds.
## Why is taking screenshots blocked?
Turn off **Secure Screen** in <nav to="security-and-privacy">.

# Shizuku
**Shizuku** is an alternative method for installing and updating extensions in **Tachiyomi**.
It taps into system APIs to directly install packages without requiring user interaction.
To get a detailed understanding of **Shizuku**, its purpose, and how it operates, refer to the information provided [here](https://shizuku.rikka.app/introduction/).
## Is Shizuku necessary?
No. It can be considered if you wish to bypass installation prompts during extension setup.
## Setting up Shizuku
To set up **Shizuku**, follow the instructions [here](https://shizuku.rikka.app/guide/setup/).
After configuring it, activate **Shizuku** within **Tachiyomi** by navigating to <nav to="advanced"> then changing the **Installer** setting.
## Comparing installers
Three installer options are available:
* **Legacy**: A fallback installer if the standard **PackageInstaller** doesn't work.
> This is the default for **MIUI** (i.e. Xiaomi devices).
* **PackageInstaller**: The primary installer option with additional features dependent on the Android version.
> For instance, it can bypass user prompts when updating extensions on **Android 12**.
* **Shizuku**: Refer to the above section for details on **Shizuku**'s functionality.
* **Private**: Installs directly to your device without passing as an application.
