The app uses more than 10% battery overnight in background with no location permission and location feature disabled in settings.

App might need to re-implement the nearby permission(and detect location changes passively ie using accelerometer etc to know when location has changed, see OwnTracks app for that) code as since Android 12+ location access is not required to access nearby devices.

And the app is stuck at splash screen. Maybe since recent android15 updates. So I had to disable it to prevent unnecessary battery usage.
