How saved places affect check-ins
Understand why the app may ask how you are when you are away.
What to do
Save home first
Home must be set before the away-from-safe-places check can start. Other saved safe places also count.
Allow location
Check the app’s location permission and the phone’s location services. The app needs a usable location reading.
Know the limit
A check-in can appear while you are away from all your saved places. A map or location entry may show an older reading; check the time before acting on it.
