# Why Prospr Needs Location Access (and How to Allow It)

Learn how to check and modify Prospr's permissions to use your phone or browser location

Your workplace may require geo-fence validation to verify that you are at work before you can clock in with Prospr. To ensure this works, confirm that your phone or browser has granted Prospr the correct location permissions.

## iPhone (iOS)

1.  Open the **Settings** app.
    
2.  Scroll down and tap **Privacy & Security**.
    
3.  Tap **Location Services**.
    
4.  Make sure **Location Services** is toggled **ON**.
    
5.  Scroll to find the **Prospr** app.
    
6.  Tap the app name, then select one of the following options:
    
    -   **While Using the App**
        
    -   **Always**
        
7.  If prompted, also toggle **Precise Location** **ON** to allow accurate positioning.
    

## Android

1.  Open the **Settings** app.

3.  Make sure the **Use Location** toggle is **ON**.
    
4.  Tap **App permissions** (or **App location permissions**).
    
5.  Find and tap the **Prospr** app.
    
6.  Select one of the following options:
    
    -   **Allow all the time**
