Tracking significant location changes in Swift allows you to monitor a user's location efficiently without consuming too much battery. This functionality is particularly useful for apps that need to update location, such as for navigation or geofencing.

This guide explains how to track significant location changes in your Swift application using the Core Location framework, ensuring minimal battery usage while still providing accurate location updates.
import UIKit
import CoreLocation
class LocationManager: NSObject, CLLocationManagerDelegate {
private var locationManager: CLLocationManager?
override init() {
super.init()
locationManager = CLLocationManager()
locationManager?.delegate = self
locationManager?.requestAlwaysAuthorization()
}
func startTrackingSignificantLocationChanges() {
locationManager?.startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges()
}
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
guard let newLocation = locations.last else { return }
print("Significant location change detected: \(newLocation.coordinate.latitude), \(newLocation.coordinate.longitude)")
}
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didFailWithError error: Error) {
print("Failed to find user's location: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
}
// Usage
let locationManager = LocationManager()
locationManager.startTrackingSignificantLocationChanges()
