Why is the location access on the iPhone set as [Always] when using the Xiaomi Smart Band 10?
For your reference, here are the reasons for setting location access as [Always] when using the Xiaomi Smart Band 10:
1. On iPhone, workouts can only be started when location access is set to [Always]. Location permission settings typically include [Never], [While Using the App], and [Always]. To ensure accurate tracking and complete workout data, Mi Fitness requires the [Always] setting to initiate workouts properly;
Note:
Even with this permission, the APP does not constantly collect your location data. It only uses location services during workout sessions or other scenarios where location tracking is needed.
2. If location access is set to [While Using the App], GPS signals and track data can be lost once the APP runs the background, which greatly impacts the workout data record;
3. In addition, for wearable devices without independent GPS, all location data relies on the phone. If the phone does not grant sufficient location permission, the wearable device can be unable to retrieve GPS information. Therefore, to ensure complete and accurate workout tracking, it is required to grant [Always] location access on iPhone. We are also continuously exploring new ways to optimize how permissions are managed.
