Frequently Asked Questions

Why is 18Birdies still open even after I closed the app?

If you have an active round, 18Birdies may still show that a round is live, even if you swiped out of or closed the app.

You may see the active round in your phone’s Activity Island or Live Activity area.

To fully end the round, open 18Birdies and finish the round in the app. Closing the app does not finish or save the round by itself.
