Re-explain

WorkManager is for deferrable, guaranteed background work that needs to run even if the app is closed or device is restarted.

Use cases:

  • Uploading data to server
  • Syncing data
  • Image processing
  • Periodic cleanup tasks

Don't use for:

  • Real-time messaging
  • Immediate execution tasks
  • Tasks that must run at exact times

WorkManager guarantees execution and handles API level differences automatically.
