        trackingStatus: 'waypoint'
      },
      autoSync: true,
      maxDaysToPersist: 3
    },

## Expected Behavior
Data must be stored in sqlite database  in the event that the internet is unavailable or disconnected, and whenever it is up, background geolocation must be sent to a url.

## Actual Behavior
In the case of Android 12, the server is not receiving any background geolocation data when the mobile data is turned off and then switched on again, while it operates without issue on Android 9, 10, and 11."

I develop on a Pixel 6 Android 13. I have no issues. I have a number of other Android 12 devices I regularly field test on.

device specific issues always come down to https://dontkillmyapp.com

Could you kindly suggest a solution for the problem of not being able to access background location in offline mode on Android 12?

[christocracy]

solution for the problem

I don’t believe this is an issue of the plugin. I believe it’s an issue with your specific device.

see https://dontkillmyapp.com

If we set 'batchsync: true' for background geolocation, do you think it will provide all location data once the device comes back online?

[christocracy]

batchSync does nothing more than control whether http requests are executed one-per-record or all records packed into one http request.

[utk4rsh92]

could you please guide me on how to check if there are any records in the SQLite plugin when I am offline?

[christocracy]

Are you reading the api docs? You should familiarize yourself with all the available methods.

The method .getCount() might sound particularly interesting.
