Why does the Blys Pro app need location access?
The Blys Pro app uses your location after you tap On my way for a confirmed booking. This allows the client to receive relevant arrival updates while you travel to the booking.
You do not need to keep location access set to Always to receive job notifications.
How to allow location access
When you tap On my way, the app will ask for location permission if it has not already been granted. Follow the prompt on your phone to allow location access while using the app.
While tapping “On my way”
iPhone

- If you haven’t allowed location access, you’ll be prompted to share your location.
