 ==== Exclude Locus Map from memory cleaning ==== ==== Exclude Locus Map from memory cleaning ====
 +When your Xiaomi or Huawei alerts you that they desperately need memory cleaning, please, be careful. In some devices/OS versions, it is possible to exclude Locus Map from memory cleaning:
 +  * run  memory cleaner once
 +  * if Locus Map is marked as an app to be cleaned, hold finger on it and then select to **exclude Locus Map from the process**
  
 +Other devices don't offer this option so you have to **exclude Locus from cleaning each time manually** - unfold all categories in the cleaning list and uncheck all boxes containing Locus Map.

 +==== Back up tracks, points and maps to a cloud ====
 +We strongly recommend making **backups of your data outside of your phone or tablet**. Tracks, points, settings and also downloaded maps can be backed up to a cloud (Dropbox/Google Drive) in Locus:
