Will Delayed Sync OFF post data to Google Sheets during entry without pressing Save?

I have a client with drivers that conduct checks along long routes (10 min - 60 min).

When they begin the route, they start a record in AppSheet, scan a few bar codes and leave the phone in the truck on the same screen until they reach the next site. Note: They have not pressed saved yet.

The Automatic Save every 30 minutes is currently causing the drivers to lose records as theyโ€™re in the middle of a route and the system runs the sync in the middle of the route causing them to lose the existing records.

Moving to another screen on device during a Route (like taking a phone call) could also cause the records to be lost as well.

Will turning off Delayed Sync AND Automatic Updates ensure data is posted immediately minimizing data loss?

Iโ€™ve read the documentation on each of the sync types but its unclear how they work or contradict with one another.
