Manage permissions (notifications & geolocation)

The Weenat application uses certain phone permissions to function properly:

• geolocation (for example, to center the map on your location when creating a plot or to suggest nearby results)
• push notifications (for example, to know when a sensor encounters difficulties or when one of your alerts has just been triggered, or if a member has accepted your invitation...)

Without these permissions, some features may be limited or may not function.

By default, when installing the application on your smartphone, these 2 permissions are requested.

However, you can refuse and continue. If you change your mind later, here are the steps to enable them.

Change geolocation permission

On Android

1. Open the phone Settings
2. Go to Apps → Weenat
3. Select Permissions
4. Allow Location

On iOS

1. Open Settings
2. Go to Weenat
3. Tap Location
4. Select “While using the app”

Change notification permission

On Android

1. Settings → Apps → Weenat
2. Notifications → enable all notifications
3. Check that Weenat is not restricted by battery saving

On iOS

1. Settings → Weenat → Notifications
2. Enable Allow Notifications
3. Check the alert style (banners, sounds)
