New Facer update draining battery

Support
1

The newest Facer update asked for location permission in order to give accurate weather. Nothing wrong with that, I figured. But now, because of that, Facer has my GPS turned on all the time, even if the watchface doesn’t have weather on it, and that severely impacts my battery life. I have a Huawei Watch 2. Anything I can do to improve things?

Exactly the same problem for me. I am using Huawei Watch 2.

I’d like to bump this, having the exact same issue also with the Huawei Watch 2.
Must be some weird compatibility issue…
Keep up the good work Facer!
