Hi again @cschick!

That unfortunately sounds like one of the mystery “nobody really knows” cases. It could be something Arc is doing, it could be some other app on the phone, it could be iOS itself, but figuring out which it is is next to impossible 😞

Have you looked at Arc Editor yet? That’s really the best bet at this stage. It’s the ground up rebuild of Arc Timeline, using all latest technologies, getting rid of a decade of accumulated cruft in the old Arc Timeline app.

> Hi everyone! So a little background first: Arc Editor is a ground up rebuild of Arc Timeline app, and also the underlying recording engine called LocoKit. The reason for doing this is to get rid of the almost decade of cruft that’s built up in the Arc Timeline app and underlying LocoKit. Over the years the codebase has become more complex, and sometimes more challenging to work with, which has lead to more bugs, and more mysterious behaviours. As new versions of iOS arrive, the “best practice” …

I highly recommend installing Arc Editor and giving that a go! You can import your Arc Timeline data, and then things will work mostly the same as in the old app, with all your data there, but with a more modern UI and far fewer mystery bugs. Also: faster processing, higher quality data, and a bunch more niceties.
