Setting Up Location Tracking Permissions on Mobile Devices (iOS & Android)

Updated over a month ago

To enable location tracking in Atto, users need to allow the app access to their device’s location services. This ensures accurate tracking based on your company’s location settings.

Below are the steps for setting up permissions on both iOS and Android.


For iOS Devices

  1. Open the Settings app

  2. Go to Privacy & Security > Location Services

  3. Select Atto from the list

  4. Set Allow Location Access to one of the following:

    • Always – Tracks location in real time, even when the app is running in the background

    • While Using the App – Tracks location only when the app is open

  5. (Optional) Enable Precise Location for higher accuracy


For Android Devices

  1. Open the Settings app

  2. Tap Location

  3. Tap App permissions or App location permissions

  4. Select Atto from the app list

  5. Choose the level of access:

    • Allow all the time – Tracks location in real time, including when the app is minimized

    • Allow only while using the app – Tracks only when Atto is open in the foreground

If you have a work profile, tap Advanced before accessing Location settings.


Tips for Better Accuracy

  • Enable Wi-Fi – Even if you’re not connected, Wi-Fi scanning improves GPS accuracy

  • Ensure Strong Signal – Cellular data or Wi-Fi must be active for consistent tracking

  • Avoid Signal Blockers – Try to keep your device clear of thick walls or metal objects
