Can you use persistedContent in background ?

Hello,

I was wondering if the PersistedContent module can be accessed within a background application. 

Currently my app gives: 

---
Error: Permission Required
Details: "Module 'Toybox.PersistedContent' not available to 'Background'"
Time: 2024-01-04T11:35:00Z
Part-Number: 006-B4315-00
Firmware-Version: '17.26'
Language-Code: deu
ConnectIQ-Version: 4.2.4
Filename: Maps_share
Appname: Maps_share
Stack:
- pc: 0x10000347
File: /home/x/Documents/Garmin/maps_share/Maps_share/source/Maps_shareApp.mc
Line: 74
Function: onPhone
- pc: 0x100002ee
File: /home/x/Documents/Garmin/maps_share/Maps_share/source/Maps_shareApp.mc
Line: 39
Function: initialize

when I try to set a waypoint from background.

However the docs of PersistedContent don't mention anywhere that it isn't available in Background.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
