Most Android phones use a power saver and/or optimization found in settings. Please make sure the World Run App is excluded from the energy-saving mode and that optimization is disabled.
Please note, we only support Huawei devices that download our apps from the Google Play Store and not other 3rd party app stores like Huawei store. This is because the World Run app requires Google services.
