How to lock app from clearing cache on android Oreo

[Jason Burkhardt]

Hello, I have Xiaomi S2 on Android Oreo & have this problem: When I clean cache, it clears the weather app in notification area as well and I don't want that. I'm using Gismeteo application and want it to be running all the time, no matter clear caches. I also noticed, that when clearing cache, messenger app has lock icon on it and it remains unaffected. I want exact thing, but on Gismeteo app. How can I do that?

When you are clearing the cache, are you clearing the system cache, or an individual app cache, or the caches for all the apps?

Are you using the phone's system app to clear the cache or using a third-party cleaner app?

My understanding with Oreo is that the cache is dealt with automatically, and there is no need to manually clear the cache unless you are having a problem with a specific app. I am not sure why you feel the need to clear the cache, maybe you could explain?
