Does anybody experience Geofencing issues.
Although Location is Always On, some geofenced apps don't update the location at all, some only when app is opened.
(for instance Honeywell and iConnectHue).
Anybody having a solution?
iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 15
Yes, there is definitely an issue with geofencing on iOS 15.
Our app (mileage tracker) relies on geofencing / region monitoring and has worked flawlessly until iOS 14.8. After updating to iOS 15 (as well as 15.0.1 and 15.0.2), the app stopped receiving regular region exit and/or region entry events, and is no longer launched to the background when the user moves, even a significant distance. This happens only on some devices, while on others there is no issue (!?)
When the issue occurred, restarting the device helped some users, but did not help others.
Even for a given user, on a given device, region monitoring would work perfectly well on one day, and fail completely on another day, causing all trips on that day to be missed by our app.
We were able to reproduce the issue on some test devices and reported it to Apple on 8 October 2021 (Feedback ID FB9687008). We have not yet heard back from Apple about this ticket.
On one of our test devices, restarting the iPhone helped "resolve" the issue and we have not been able to reproduce the issue on that device again. On other devices, users have reported that even after multiple restarts the behaviour is unpredictable. Geofencing works on one day, then not working on the next day...
Really frustrating, and no word from Apple on this so far!
André2859, Update your device to IOS 15.3 if you haven't already. This should fix your geofencing issues! Good luck
Hi,
since 2 weeks, I use iOS 15.02. I also have trouble with my smart home app which use geofencing.
Did you still have any issues or did you find a solution?
Many thanks.
I use mobilinc to control my home automation and geofence stopped working a while ago. It wasn’t fixed in 15.01,15.02 or 15.1 .
Does Apple even look at these blogs?
We are also experiencing this issue. Region and significant location monitoring are not working reliably on iOS 15.
Exactly the same issue, Alarm system, Photosync etc dont work anymore with geofencing. tested Homekit geofencing and that is working perfectly. So it seems geofencing is broken voor non apple apps.
Same problem here with 2 iPhone 13 ios 15.1
Locative, IFTTT,…. not working
This bug has to be solved urgently because our day to day depends on it
I thought I'm the only one. not it seems like not the hardware problem. I'm still struggling for a solution. My 6 years Old Samsung is my temporary solution at the moment.
Your answer is completely unrelated to the topic which is being discussed.
same problem here. Works fine with iOS 12 or 14 on my other iPhones. On IOS15 it stops working!
So, the problem is IOS 15.
regards
It definately not a wrong location. The cause is IOS15. With older IOS it wiens fine. It stopped working after update to iOS 15!
I have the same issue on iphone 12 pro with nest thermostat, arlo doorbell apps. Restarting doesnt solve issue.
iOS 15.2 does NOT solve the issue…
Do you have any updates? I upgraded to 15.2; nonetheless the issue isn't fixed :(
Today (15-12-2021) it works again. :-) I’ve tested it (IFTTT with Tahoma). I've IOS 5.1 at the moment.
It probably works again because you restarted your iPhone or opened the app. It will stop working in 1-2 days if you don’t open the app or restart the app
Geofencing problems with iOS15.01
