Maximizing Location Accuracy in the Safeture App

Here are six tips to help you ensure maximum location accuracy on your phone. By following these, you’ll receive location-based information tailored to your position more accurately, enabling faster assistance when needed.

1. Enable Location Sharing for the Safeture App
   Allow the app to access location data in your device settings to receive the most accurate location-based updates.

2. Turn Off Wi-Fi if Possible
   Using Wi-Fi can sometimes reduce location accuracy. Your device may default to the location of your internet router or base station, which is often set by your provider and may not reflect your exact position.

3. Turn Off VPN if Possible
   VPNs can impact location accuracy by routing your connection through different regions for privacy, which may lead your device to report a location far from your actual position.

4. Use Mobile Networks for Internet
   Mobile networks, combined with GPS and triangulation from cell towers, generally offer the most accurate positioning. Keep in mind that location accuracy is often lower in places with poor signal, like basements, and best in open areas.

5. Enable Bluetooth
   Bluetooth can enhance location accuracy, as it is utilized by Apple location services to help pinpoint your position more precisely.

6. Disable Battery Optimization (Android users)
   Disabling battery optimization for the Safeture app helps maintain location accuracy by preventing interruptions in tracking. The app has been optimized to use only a small amount of battery daily. [Click here for a guide on adjusting this setting for Android users.]
