why do exercise apps not record my journey?

AC Question

I've tried using mapmyride and strava and they both drop out location recording after about a minute and a half. is this something to do with my phone trying to save battery?
is this something to do with miui?
I have a xiaomi Redmi 3s prime or something.
Android is so damn complicated these days, I don't know what's stopping these apps from recording my location.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
