How Often Does cMe Update Location?

Category: Real-Time Location

Platforms: All

cMe isn't designed for continuous second-by-second tracking. Update frequency is adjusted based on the device's movement state, positioning quality, network status, the system's background policies, and account entitlements.

Factors That Affect Update Frequency

• Whether the device is moving.
• GPS signal and positioning accuracy.
• Whether the phone is in the foreground, background, or locked.
• Android battery optimization or iOS background scheduling policy.
• The current group's sharing settings.
• VIP or non-VIP entitlements and current product rules.
• Whether the network is stable.

Location history prioritizes keeping representative movement points and key turning points; long straight stretches or staying in a small area may be merged or thinned out.
