[OBSOLETE] differences between "SmartThings Classic" (the V2 app) and “SmartThings (Samsung Connect)” (the V3 app)

[JDRoberts]

As of this writing, the iOS version of the new V3 app needs to have the Geopresence used for the phone location refreshed from time to time. This seems like it is probably a bug, but it has now persisted through several updates to the app, so maybe not. With the classic app, it is the android version which is more likely to need location refreshed.

Recurring issue with lost "location information"

I am new to SmarthThings (so I could be doing something wrong), but in the SmartThings App (new one) it keeps loosing my device as a location sensor. When I go to create a new automation, i get a warning "to use this condition, use location information needs to be turned on . . . " If I go into “Settings-Use location information” it shows it as “off”, when it has been on and working. If I go and turn it on again, and then go into create a new automation there will be multiple instances of my iPhone to choose from. If I check my “devices” on the hub webpage it lists multiple instances of my iPhone, but only one of them has recently connected. They all have different “user_uuid”. Any ideas? Thanks!
