Battery modes
Choose how hard the app works.
Open the Tracking panel from the rail on the map, and use the mode picker.
| Mode | What it does |
|---|---|
| Lite | Lowest power. A position about once a minute while moving. Someone watching you doesn't change that. |
| Dynamic | Sends high detail only while someone is watching you. As your battery falls, it steps down on its own. |
| High | Always sends high detail, whatever your battery says. |
On Dynamic, you might see “Battery low — running as Lite until charged.” It returns to full detail once the phone has charged.
An SOS overrides the mode for a while, so that people can see where you are.
On Android, tap Disable battery restrictions and Allow auto-start if the app offers them. See Allow location.
