I just installed the latest beta and noticed a new question about the position when opening the app first time. Where to have more docs about this new option?

You're probably getting a prompt for choosing a connection security level, which needs location access: https://companion.home-assistant.io/docs/getting_started/connection-security-level

(cc @steel nimbus if the beta is approved I think we should merge the docs update?)

Since the latest update of the android companion app, after choosing between the two options regarding security access, the device trackers created by the app don’t update anymore his position. Its state is always ‘home’ and it create so many problems with my automations. Is anyone other having the same issue and the same behaviour? How to fix it and come back where all was working good?
