#iOS companion app not updating sensors in the background

Hi,

I have the companion app installed on my iPad. Despite having "Background app refresh" turned on in the settings the sensors aren't updating unless the app is in the foreground. This is the only apple product I have in the house but none of my other devices with the app have this issue.

Any thoughts?

Apple has an aggressive background process management that prevents HA app from updating the location and sensors if the app isn’t opened frequently

I hate how they decide how we should use our devices, the only work around I know is to create an automation using shortcuts app to update the sensors every x minutes
