Power Saving mode or Battery Optimization mode may reduce the GPS accuracy when using Navigate to track your activity. Even if your phone isn't in Power Saving mode, individual apps like AllTrails can be opted into Battery Optimization. You'll need to disable the battery optimization setting before navigating.
Note: Android operation system updates may opt you back into Battery Optimization even if you previously opted out.
You can disable Battery Optimization by following these steps:
For Android 12 and above:
- Long-press the AllTrails app icon
- Tap the info icon
- Tap 'Battery'
- Select 'Unrestricted' for battery usage
For Android 11 and below:
- Long-press the AllTrails app icon
- Tap the info icon
- Tap 'Battery'
- Tap 'Optimize Battery Usage'
- Change the dropdown menu from 'Apps Not Optimized' to 'All'
- Toggle AllTrails to 'off'
Please note that these instructions may vary slightly depending on your phone model and operating system version.
