The app encourages users with Apple Watch complications to grant "Always" permission for location updates. This allows background updates without significant battery drain. For optimal functionality, enabling "Frequent Locations" in Settings is recommended. While location permission set to "While using" will still provide updates approximately every 45 minutes, it may limit responsiveness.

However, it's important to note that continuous GPS usage in the background can lead to noticeable decreases in battery performance over time.
