In September 2019, Apple released the iOS 13 update. Besides the aesthetic addition of “Dark Mode” and Apple 

Arcade, this update brought several  significant changes to the security and privacy settings of Apple’s most 

recent mobile devices. 

These changes have altered the way in which mobile applications can function in the background of a locked 

device. 

Background recording is no longer permissible. Apple’s iOS 13 no longer allows apps to record data 

in the background - applications designed to record need to be open and active for the recording feature to 

work. While the background feature allowed you to use other apps while recording, it was also open to 

potential abuse.

Along with other voice-over-IP applications, such as Facebook Messenger, Snapchat and WeChat, the Walkie Talkie

 feature of LIVALL’s smart and safe helmet range requires that the LIVALL Riding app is open and active to

 function optimally.

These changes affect the Walkie Talkie feature on the following helmets - the BH51M Urban Range, the BH60SE 

Road, the BH62 Road, the MT1 Mountain and RS1 Snow. 

LIVALL is currently scoping out several possible avenues of integration with other applications that would facilitate 

optimal performance of this feature.
