Why do location permissions of the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Active always need to be allowed when initiating an exercise on iOS phones?
The Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Active requires location permissions to be always allowed when initiating an exercise on iOS devices to ensure accurate and reliable fitness tracking, particularly for outdoor activities where GPS data is essential. Without proper location permissions, exercise data such as trajectories and distance will be incomplete or inaccurate, affecting the overall experience.
Please refer to the main reasons below for this permission requirement:
1. To ensure that your exercise data, such as routes and distances, are accurately tracked, the Mi Fitness APP requires access to your location at all times during the workout. Without the always allowed permission, certain features like GPS tracking will not function correctly;
2. If you grant location permission only [While Using the App], the APP will lose access to your location when it enters the background, potentially leading to issues such as lost trajectories or inaccurate distance data. Always allowing location access ensures continuous tracking even when the APP is not actively in the foreground;
3. The Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Active doesn’t support independent GPS, and the location data is sourced from your phone. If your phone’s location permission is insufficient, the band will be unable to obtain accurate positioning information, leading to potential tracking issues.
