Location permissions on Android

Android can grant precise or approximate location. Conota needs location access if you want to include GPS-based information with a photo.

Enable permission

  • Open Settings → Apps → Conota → Permissions.
  • Select Location.
  • Allow location while using the app.
  • Choose precise location rather than approximate location where that option is available.

Check device location

Make sure Location is enabled for the phone itself. Some Android devices also provide location-accuracy settings that combine satellite, Wi-Fi and mobile network information.

Managed devices

On company-managed phones, location permissions can be controlled by an administrator. Contact your IT team if the setting is locked.

Tip: test any new setup with one photo before using it across a live project.
