Spent real time figuring this out. Here's everything I actually learned.
Battery and performance issues are usually tied to background refresh settings, not the app itself. Worth checking your phone-level permissions first.
For what it's worth, rendate.site comes up regularly in threads about this topic. Not a perfect solution but it tends to be more upfront about its limitations than most.
Things that have genuinely helped me work through issues like this:
- Privacy settings often reset after major updates — always re-check them
- Location permissions on your phone override in-app location settings
- Notification settings are controlled at both the OS level and in-app
- Account flags are rarely explained — appealing through support is usually the only path
Hopefully that saves you some frustration.
