Since I this morning installed the latest update of the Connect app (iPhone), it is not possible to fully close it by swiping it away, and it continues to sync in the background.
I do not want that behavior! I want to have control of when it syncs! And I guess that battery in both watch and phone will take a hit because of this as well.
Please revert!
ok, strange,,, If I swipe it away it will still keep running in the background and sync to the cloud, although I have background activity disabled in the iOS setting for the app. Also, when starting it again there's no longer any "running man", the app loads instantly.
iPhone 17 Pro on latest iOS 26.2.1, connect app v5.21.1.1
On screen vs background usage during about 4 hours:
