**Describe the bug**

IOS app not updating GPS location in background.

My girlfriend and I both have an iPhone 11 and some time ago GPS trough the the app stopped working. Both *person's continually stay at status HOME even if we are at work etc.

If you manually update the location this updates in homeassistent but this status will be kept until you update it again.

Both internal and external URL are filled in the companion app and if you look in the app it nicely reports the correct URL based on if I am at home or not.

However the GPS never changes.

**To Reproduce**

Point DNS record to instance and port forward it.
On an iPhone 11 with IOS version 16.5.1 (latest) enable GPS tracking and enter or exit zones.

**Expected behavior**
When manually updating the location this sets the correct location in homeassistent.
