I stopped using Strava when they changed it so it doesn't work anymore with the "while using the app" mode. It's odd that a paid app still wants to stalk you - apparently they think that their people movement data is more valuable than their fitness business. The fitness part is apparently just an elaborate ruse to get you to install their app... (The fact that Apple lets this fly shows yet again that their App store policies are not for protecting the user, they are just for protecting Apple's revenue stream)

What do you mean? I just checked now and the app is in only while using mode on my phone and it's perfectly fine. But in the same time I use a different sports watch and sync everything from there to Strava, so I don't use their apps for any direct activities. The use location always might be because of the beacon feature, which can be disabled probably.

  Maybe they changed it, but after an update the Strava app refused to start activities in the "only when using" mode. I stopped using Strava at that point, so I can't say what it's like now.
