Location Security & Battery Life

Will allowing location in the background drain my battery?

No, Monzo location security won't drain your battery. Monzo uses the iOS “Significant Location Change” feature, which is activated when switching cell towers, and not by GPS. That means that this feature does not drain your battery like GPS would. We regularly run power profiling as part of development, to make sure Monzo is always using as little battery as possible.
