Enabling geolocation on iOS (for iPhone and iPad)

In this article we cover how to enable geolocation on BuildPass if you missed the prompts to do this the first time you signed in. If you are unable to toggle on "Geofenced Projects" this article will show you how to make this option work for you.


  1. Checking the Location Settings
    • Navigate to your profile within the app.
    • Go to the settings section.
    • Observe that the location settings option is greyed out and inaccessible.
  2. Re-enabling Location Permissions
    • Return to the sign-on page.
    • Sign off the project.
    • Sign back on to the project and the app will prompt you again for location permissions
  3. Allowing Location Permissions
    • Choose to allow location permissions.
    • Select the option to allow location access while using the app.
    • Change the setting to 'Allow Always' for constant location access.
  4. Verifying the Location Settings Activation
    • Go back to your profile.
    • Access the settings again.
    • Confirm that the location is now active and no longer greyed out.
