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!
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 :(
Do you remove Telegram from the list of recent apps?

Telegram has always been my most frequently used app. So it is not removed from the list of recent apps…

Huawei p20 pro, Android 10, Telegram for Android v 8.7.1 (2629) - Live location is not updated. Actually it updates very randomly, e.g. 3 time in a row within 1 min, then no updats at all for an hour.

Same problem here. On WhatsApp, live location update every moment. Telegram live location only works when it is open on the screen.
