Make sure Internet connection is active 🌐
Since iSharing updates your location via 3G/LTE/WiFi, your iPhone always should be connected to the internet.
- Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data "on", iSharing "on"
Disable Low Power Mode 🔋
If enabled, these settings can prevent iSharing from running in the background. Therefore, your location will only be updated for your friends when you open the application.
To check, go to Settings > Battery > and verify that Low Power Mode is disabled.
Enable Push notification 🚨
Go to Settings > Notifications > make sure that iSharing is activated
Do not remove the app from background
iSharing need to keep communicate with an iPhone even if it is under background. Don't worry about the battery consumption. iSharing consumes just 1% of battery life over 24 hours.
