Required phone settings

These are necessary settings for the mobile devices of enrolled participants who opted into location sharing (everyone). Regardless of phone model or OS, the participant must be signed into the mobile app, and must keep the app open in the background on the phone.

iOS Devices

The participant must be signed into Hornsense, and must keep the app open in the background (don't close it).

In Settings app

  • Privacy & Security (or just Privacy) > Location services > Hornsense > Location permission = always. Also allow precise location (toggle on). After enabling this setting you must also click "ok" on the message, "'Hornsense' would like to access your motion and fitness activity."
