PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. THE APP IS GREAT WITHOUT THIS ISSUE
Subject: NetGlance 1.1.2 – Live Activity freezes at “Last measured” when app goes to background
Hello Emin,
I’m using NetGlance Pro on an iPhone 14 Pro running iOS 27.0.1. NetGlance works correctly while the app is active: upload/download traffic is measured and displayed normally.
However, there is a problem with the Dynamic Island Live Activity. When I leave NetGlance and return to the Home Screen or open another app, the NetGlance Live Activity appears in the Dynamic Island, but it immediately shows “Last measured” and stops updating. This happens even while the iPhone is actively using the internet and network traffic is continuing.
Interestingly, when I bring NetGlance back to the foreground, the measurements start updating again. The Live Activity itself therefore appears to be registered correctly, but the network-speed measurement is not continuing while the app is in the background.
I also checked Settings → General → Background App Refresh, and NetGlance does not appear in the list.
I have already tried disabling/re-enabling Live Activities, restarting the iPhone, and recreating the Live Activity. The behavior remains the same.
Expected behavior: The Dynamic Island should continue showing current upload/download speeds while NetGlance is in the background, as described by the app.
Actual behavior: It switches to “Last measured” and remains frozen until NetGlance becomes active again.
I noticed that version 1.1.2 specifically mentions improvements to Live Activity startup, stopping, and resuming, as well as preserving the last measured speed when the app is backgrounded. Unfortunately, on my device the Live Activity does not resume live measurements after backgrounding.
Could you please check whether this is a known issue with iOS 27.0.1 / iPhone 14 Pro, or whether a fix is planned?
Thank you.
“I reproduced the same behavior with another network-monitoring app, NetSpeed: both apps switch to their last measured value when backgrounded.”
