Occasionally there will be a popup saying the phone is putting apps that haven’t been used in a while to sleep to save battery. Why doesn’t it just do this all the time? Why does an app need to be “awake” if I am not using it?

Waking up an app costs processing power and time. If it’s an app you open regularly, like messaging, or a social app, then putting it to sleep and waking it up makes for an annoying user experience, and also wasted battery.
