The approval/disapproval mechanic should be only available within the current party. If you leave a companion in camp, it doesn't make much sense they should know what you've been doing all day. Some could argue the others told them. But it doesn't work in case you go do some stuff solo.

It would be rather interesting to have a conversation with them afterwards and tell them what you want them to know about your actions and leave some pieces secret.

It would certainly add more dialogues and make things harder for the writers, but it would make the companion interactions more coherent and less forced into your story arc.
