hello, this report is regarding the telegram live location feature. recently, i realised that my live location stops updating the moment I am not active on telegram.
i have already changed my iphone setting for location access permission grant to “always” but this problem still occured despite me sending an 8 hours live location. the moment i stop being active on telegram, it stops updating.
this issue didn’t happen in the previous few versions. it will still actively run even if I exit the telegram application.
Steps to reproduce
Allow location access grant permission on my iPhone for telegram to “ALWAYS”.
Enter telegram, tap on the paper clip icon.
Share my live location for 8 hours.
The live location stops updating the moment I exit/offline from telegram!
The same issue happens always on iPhone SE (2020), iPhone 11, iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro; all on iOS 15.2.
Live location is only updated once the person sharing location opens Telegram.
Status changed to Fix coming

Same here on 2 iPhones. I updated one to the current version in the App Store (8.4.1) but it's not clear if the one in the store contains the fix (apparently not, because it's still not working). But I just couldn't find a way to check within Telegram the details of the version currently installed (the only way I found was via version history in the App Store).

This issue still hasn’t been resolved… please fix it soon if not this feature does not serve what telegram wants it to serve :(
