With https://banglejs.com/reference#Bangle you have a singleton with which you can control the specifics of BangleJs.

For example, https://banglejs.com/reference#t_l_Bangle_setGPSPower Bangle.setGPSPower(1); will turn the GPS receiver on, and Bangle.setGPSPower(); turns it of (of course .setGPSPower(true); and .setGPSPower(false) or .setGPSPower(0); work as well.

I n general:
- application run mutually exclusive
- widgets run all the time
- games - for performance and real estate reasons - exclude / stop also widgets
It all depends how the applications/widgets/games are built.

Thanks @allObjects, of course I know about the Bangle class and the methods exposed.

I know I can activate and deactivate those sensors manually. I was just wondering: if my app does a Bangel.setGPSPower(1), is GPS then always active even if I leave the app?

That does not seem very power efficient. Hence the question, will GPS be switched off if I return to the clock for example?

I had a look at some apps and I don't see and explicit: "turn off when leaving the app" code.
