Every time I lock my phone when using Google maps it closes it and I have to restart my trip. Is there any way to fix this? Please help me 😭

That shouldn't be happening. Do you have a 3rd party launcher or lock screen installed?

@userucxJhbYpzt Have you double checked to see if Google Maps is not enabled in your sleeping apps?

@userucxJhbYpzt Navigate to your settings > apps > find Google Maps > battery > touch the switch next to Allow Background Activity.
