How do I turn on location services?

Edited

If your location services are not set to "Always" in the Convoy app, the first pop-up in the app will direct you to update your general phone settings. The location access must be set to "Always" while you are on the load to ensure automatic updates, even when the app is running in the background.

Per the rate confirmation sheet, location services must be enabled for the entire shipment, and 4 hours before arriving at the pickup. Enabling location services is also a requirement for earning the QuickPay discount.

To set location services to "Always" on an iPhone, follow these steps below:

1.

Open the Convoy App

If your location services are not set to "Always", the first screen in the app will direct you to your general phone settings to edit this authorization.
