Enabling mobile app permissions

To ensure that the Stream mobile app for drivers works as intended, it will need certain permissions to be enabled on the device.

These permissions:

• Allow the app to track the drivers’ location while on runs
• Store unsent information for later, when the signal/connection strength is low/limited
• Use the device camera to scan barcodes etc.

The first time each of these permissions is required, your device will ask if you wish to allow them.

If you deny these permissions in the first instance, you can enable them later in your phone settings.
