Hi there, I have some flows with geofencing using the location option for users with Homey. A few days ago it suddenly stopped working and only recognizes a user coming home when you open the Homey app. The problems started before 7.1.5 rolled out and we didn’t made any updates or changes to the iPhones we use with Homey. Is anybody having the same experiences of troubles or does somebody know how to fix this issue? ---

Always with an iPhone. Last Monday I updated my iPhone 12 pro to iOS 15 and then I started to have problems with location detection. Sometimes it works, but most of the time not, or only when I open the Homey app. Settings are ok. In iPhone privacy Homey is set to always have acces to my location. How can this be fixed? At this point I’m hoping for a fix not an alternative way for Homey to detect my location. I … ---

For some user the problem started with 7.1.4. > [@Latest update 7.1.4 position homey](https://community.homey.app/t/latest-update-7-1-4-position-homey/52345): > > Hello! After the latest update the built-in gps in homey is completely off … is there anyone else who has the same problem? or just me? when I get home it marks me as gone … sometimes I am gone all the time (iphone) But there are two different problems: 1.
