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 systems updates may opt you back into Battery Optimization even if you previously opted out.
You can disable Battery Optimization by following these OS version-specific steps:
For Android 12 and above:
- Long-press the AllTrails app icon
- Tap the info icon
- Tap on ‘Battery’
- Select ‘Unrestricted’ for battery usage
For Android 11 and below:
- Long-press the AllTrails app icon
- Tap the info icon
- Tap on ‘Battery’
- Tap on ‘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.
