If you are experiencing problems with GPS tracking on Android, this guide will help you solve them step by step.

1. Make sure the GPS is turned on

Verify that the GPS on your device is turned on and set to “High Accuracy.” Here's how to do it:

• Go on Settings > Location.
• Make sure it is activated.
• Select Position Mode (or similar) and set to High Accuracy.

2. Grant the app all necessary permissions

WHIP LIVE requires continuous access to the location to function properly.

1. Go to Settings > App > WHIP LIVE > Permissions.
2. Grant access to the location and select Always allow.

3. Turn off battery optimizations

Some Android devices block GPS tracking to save power. To turn off these optimizations:

1. Go to Settings > Battery > App Optimization (or similar).
2. Search for WHIP LIVE and select Do not optimize.

4. Disable background restrictions

WHIP LIVE must run in the background to track your activities.
