Do I need to keep the Scan for Points app or my screen open while scanning?

The Map Lock feature allows the screen to be locked while the scan continues uninterrupted.  After you start a scan, the Map Lock can be activated from the map by pressing the padlock button on the bottom left of the screen. Device-specific settings may interrupt the scanning process when the screen is locked. If you notice your scan was interrupted when you lock your screen, we advise that you use the Map Lock option or scan with your screen on.


For optimal scanning results, it's best to keep the World Mobile app open or use our Map Lock feature.

Battery optimization settings on your device may impact scanning. Please disable these settings for the World Mobile app to improve the scanning performance.
