Research direction
Reproduce the issue on an iPhone 12 Pro Max running iOS 15.4 with Element iOS 1.8.22: start live location sharing in a room, then leave that context. Investigate the app’s existing live-location UI and determine how a global indicator can show that sharing is active and identify the room; done means the active state and room are visible without returning to the original room.
