Question

My phone gets very hot when the QB app tracks my drive in the background. Is there a way to make the phone not burn up during tracking?

QuickBooks uses real-time GPS tracking in the background to accurately log mileage, which can cause your device to warm up.

 

To help cool things down, you might consider minimizing the app by tapping the Home icon on your device while tracking mileage.

 

You can also enable battery optimization or switch to low power mode to reduce background activity and help regulate device performance. Alternatively, turn off QuickBooks app notifications and lower your screen brightness to reduce the workload on your phone's processor.

 

If you've encountered errors with QuickBooks mileage tracking, don't hesitate to reply to this thread.
