background location permission for app? (piefed.blahaj.zone)

Hoping to use osmand + [redacted] as a way to track my phone, after a near miss dropping it in a park the other day.

But the only options for location are, "don't allow," "aak every time," or "allow while using the app."

I thought maybe granting "run in background" might help, but OsmAnd doesn't request that permission

There is a specific location permission option "Allow all the time" that an app can request - I use GPSLogger, and it has this option available. Osmand might not work, in this case.

Thanks! I ended up testing both uLogger and GPSLogger. Either will work, I think.
