If you're planning to purchase devices, make sure the Yandex Courier app can be installed and launched on your chosen model. Some models, like those running the Android GO Edition OS, don't support the app. Here are two lists that are based on the statistics that we've collected. The devices in the first list don't fully support the Yandex Courier app. The ones in the second list support the app but are not recommended (due to frequent problems with geolocation). More devices may be added in the future.

Internet traffic use

Depending on how much you use the app, it uses up from 1 to 5 megabytes per hour. This is an approximate average traffic use rate based on statistics collected from various routes. The results of a specific traffic use sampling may differ.

The exact value depends on:

  • The number of app sessions (launches).
  • The number of routes and orders in them.
  • Status changes.
  • Comment posting and other actions.

You can gauge your traffic consumption using a consumption tracker on your device. If you're looking for the best service plan to use with the Yandex Courier app, check your data consumption statistics to gauge how much traffic you spend.

Setting up background operation

To receive route updates and important notifications, set Yandex Courier to run in the background:

  • Allow the app to autostart.
  • Disable power saving mode.

After performing these actions, the app will activate along with your device and will be able to keep track of incoming messages even when your smartphone's screen is off.
