Hey @ronmichael thanks for reporting it, I'm having a very similar issue. Do you have the same problem with Android?

I haven't seen this problem with Android -- knock on wood. :)

Alright, my issue might be totally separate (or even just personal 😅). I might be able to take a look at yours this week end 😉

looks like iOS considers "When in use" action like partially granted for Always. After some time(after location monitoring event like BLE beacon region detection) iOS will ask user to choose either "Always" or continue "When in use".
