Does anybody else have the problem of the app draining battery when tracking KM’s ?

There are several strategies you can use to conserve battery life while using the app, timothys1. I'm here to provide some helpful suggestions to assist you. Let's tackle this together.

Please note that QuickBooks is designed to run in the background, providing real-time tracking of your driving activities. This ensures that all your trips are logged accurately without missing important data.

Here are some suggestions to prevent your mobile battery from draining quickly:

1. An active screen can deplete your battery. If you're using the QuickBooks app and want to conserve power, tap your device's Home icon to minimize the app. This way, the app will continue to operate in the background, even when your screen is inactive.
    
2. It's recommended to enable battery optimization in your device settings. This allows QuickBooks to run more efficiently and use less battery power when you're not actively using it. This ensures optimal performance throughout your device's usage.
