If you are having trouble with frequent crashes, missions ending early, or GPS in Zombies, Run! on a Samsung device, this may be due to Samsung's battery optimisation settings.
These settings can vary between phone models and versions of the Android OS, and because of this we cannot provide comprehensive instructions for every device.
The steps below cover the basics, but if you find yourself still struggling after trying them, we recommend checking out Don't Kill My App which should have the latest information.
