Samsung Battery Optimisation

If you are having trouble with frequent crashes, missions ending early, or GPS in Zombies, Run! on a Samsung device, please follow these steps:

• Go to Settings
• Go to Apps
• Select the 3-dot menu in the right corner
• Tap Special Access
• Tap Optimise Battery Usage
• Select All Apps at the top left corner
• Turn off Battery Optimisation for Zombies, Run!
• Go to Device Maintenance
• Tap Battery
• Deselect Zombies, Run! to allow it to use battery while it is not the active app

We have had reports that even removing Zombies, Run! (or other apps) from optimisation settings does not always allow it to function correctly, due to Samsung's aggressive battery optimisation functions. If following these steps does not work, we would recommend turning off power saving mode entirely. To do this:

• Go to Settings
• Open Device Maintenance
• Tap Battery
• Tap Power Saving Mode and switch it off

If you are using a Galaxy S8 or later device, then please do the following:

• Go to Settings
• Go to Device Maintenance
• Tap Battery
• Scroll down to Unmonitored Apps
• Tap the 3-dot menu
• Add Zombies, Run! to the list of unmonitored apps
• Alternatively, switch off App Power Monitor altogether

Please also make sure that you do not have Edge Lighting enabled for Zombies, Run!
