Google Maps wont update when screen is off [Solved]

[JPNFRK7]

Happens in both Android Auto and when the phone is on its own. If I lock the screen, Google Maps will not update my location until the screen is back on. Any ideas? This also happenex before the Android 10 update.

Make sure Google Maps is not Battery Optimized in the system settings, and then see if the problem persists.

Problem persists. App does not update whether optimized or not. Background use is enabled. Location is on high accuracy.

Alright, Ive been stuck on Medium Power Save mode because adaptive power saving was turned off. I guess this limits background location checks. I guess this was an oversight on my part.

How about in Safe Mode? https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-39505
