The problem
I think I have found an issue having to do with using an iPhone and it’s personal hotspot. I was visiting relatives and was roaming and at my destination I enabled the personal hotspot on my iPhone to allow my iPad to connect through it for internet access. A few weeks after returning home, I noticed my geo location on my iPhone was still showing me at my relatives house. I also noticed a second instance of my phone device with an _2 added to the device name. After troubleshooting, I finally noticed my personal hotspot was still enabled. As soon as I disabled the hotspot my iPhone instantly started updating is geo location again. It looks to me like the HA mobile app retains the geo location state of your iPhone once the personal hotspot is enabled and if left enabled it won’t change until you disable the hotspot.

Additional information
Location has always been set to always for the app on iPhone. This issue could be why iPhone users are having failed geo location updating not working. It is kind of an obscure issue that I just happened to figure out.
