Driving Mode

Driving Mode tracks eligible distance while you drive and turns it into reward progress, subject to the app's current rules.

Last reviewed: 2026-07-22 · Applicable country: India

Safe Driving First

Users must not interact with the app while operating a vehicle. Start tracking before you begin driving, and only stop tracking after you have safely parked.

How Distance Tracking Works

Location tracking for Driving Mode is only active when you explicitly enable it, and can be disabled at any time in your device or app settings. LuckyMeter uses GPS coordinates and route information, along with trip metadata such as start/end time and duration, to calculate eligible distance.

Daily Limits and Validation

Eligible distance, daily limits, and validation rules are subject to the current in-app rules and may change. We do not publish specific thresholds here to avoid stating a number that may not match the version of the app you are using — check the in-app rules for current details.

Why Distance May Not Count

Common reasons driving distance may not be reflected in your reward progress include:

  • Driving Mode was not enabled before the trip started.
  • Required location permissions were not granted, or location services were off.
  • Weak or lost GPS signal during the trip.
  • The app was closed or force-stopped by the system during the trip.
  • Activity did not pass the app's validation checks for eligible distance.
  • You reached the applicable daily limit for the day.

Battery Use

Continuous GPS tracking during Driving Mode uses more battery than normal phone use. Keep your device charged during longer trips if possible.

Privacy

Raw location route data collected in Driving Mode is retained only for a limited period to calculate rewards and investigate potential fraud, after which it is deleted or de-identified, while aggregated distance totals are retained. See our full Privacy Policy for details.
