Google map location use for automations

We have the HA App on both our Iphones (wife and hubbie). For whatever reason, my wife’s HA App frequently reverts to “when used” instead of “always” fot the location setting. I have read somewhere that others have the same issue.
I added our locations to be shared with a specific Google Map account and this account has also been added to HA.
Is there a way to use this setup so that coming home can be used in Automations ?
