To provide real-time location sharing, Glympse utilizes a mobile device’s internal GPS, which uses a modest amount of battery. Glympse is designed for efficient battery usage, with patented technology to minimize battery drain.
When the app is in the background, it uses minimal battery. However, actively sharing your location requires more battery usage due to the device’s GPS.
Tip: To conserve battery, turn off sharing when you no longer need it.
