It is one of the most common reasons for cutting the route short, the app shutting down during an activity or not even recording the activity at all.

In order to prevent such issues, turn off the battery saving setting, the battery management system, battery optimization and all external apps that aim to optimize the battery use.

Each and every phone has different options and default settings, that is why ways of dealing with this issue differ, depending on the phone brand. When those settings (optimization) are active, they might lead to shutting down Activy or an unrecorded activity. That is why, we highly recommend to turn off the optimization settings for Activy.
