When should a companion app request BLE connection parameter updates?

Direct answer

Request connection parameter updates after service discovery and once the app is in a stable interaction mode, not during the noisy first seconds of pairing. Short intervals suit live controls; longer intervals save battery during background telemetry. For a companion app that streams sensor values, switch to low latency only while the live graph is open.
