Instructions for OPPO devices

WARNING: Your run tracking will not work properly if these settings are not configured correctly. Please follow the instructions carefully.

Follow these setup steps for your Oppo device:

Battery Settings

Oppo’s “Smart” battery optimization will pause the app if the screen is off for an extended period. You must set this to manual:

  • Allow Background Activity:
    • Go to Settings > Apps > App management > World Run.
    • Tap on Battery usage.
    • Toggle Allow background activity to ON.
    • Critical: A pop-up will appear warning about power consumption; tap Allow to confirm.

  • Optimize Battery Usage:
    • Go to Settings > Battery > More settings > Optimize battery usage.
    • Find World Run in the list and select Don’t optimize.

APP MANAGEMENT & LOCKING

Prevent the system from “cleaning” the app during the race:

  • Lock the App in Task Manager:
    • Open the World Run app.
    • Swipe up and hold (or tap the Square button) to enter the Recent Apps view.
    • Tap the three dots (⋮) or the App Icon in the top right corner of the World Run preview.
    • Select Lock. You will see a padlock icon appear.

  • Disable App Hibernation:
    • In the App Info page for World Run, scroll to the bottom.
    • Ensure the toggle for “Remove permissions and free up space” (or “Pause app activity if unused”) is turned OFF.

Pro-Tips for Oppo Users in 2026:

  • High Performance Mode: For the best GPS accuracy, go to Settings > Battery > More settings and turn on High performance mode just for the duration of the race.
  • System Cloner / Private Safe: Ensure the app is installed in the "Main System" and not a "System Clone," as background permissions are often restricted in cloned environments.
