Find my phone (iOS) only works with application open

Hi there,

I have a Vivoactive 3, and my Find my phone feature only works if the Garmin Connect App is open. I have read on the support centre that for iPhone users, this is the case, and also that the sound that feature will make will be the same as that set on the device.

Is this really the case for iOS 13? Both of these scenarios defeats the whole purpose of the "Find my phone" feature, doesn't it?

Is there any workaround for this then? Other forums that I have found are not really helpful for iOS.

If not, I am starting to get really disappointed in the lack of features on my devices.

Kind regards,

Frikkie Badenhorst
