How to get an app back on "consuming apps" list?

Hi

I recently removed an app from the "consuming apps" list in the power management->App power consumption pressing the options button->list management.

I expected to be able to get the app back on the list when I needed to, but I haven't found anywhere where it can be done.

Will uninstalling and reinstalling the app make it re-appear on the list (provided it starts to use battery and/or backgraound data again), or is the removal irrevocable unless I reset the phone?

Thanks in advance

Best regard

It does say at the top by deleting them from the list will stop them from been listed in the future, I'd think your best option is to perform a app preferences reset - Settings then apps then tap the 3 dots then Reset app preferences then perform a reboot and test

If you merely disabled it then open Settings then Apps and swipe to Disabled and open said app then tap on Enable

I'm no talking about not being able to find in the normal app list. Please re-read my post where I describe the which list I mean.
