Enable Automated Check-In/Out for your Mobile Device

A guide for checking the correct settings so that you can start using Automated Check-In/Out on 1Breadcrumb.

1Breadcrumb uses real-time location data from your mobile phone to allow you to automatically check in/out. This removes the need for you to pull out your phone and scan the QR Code each time you wish to enter a site. To use automatic check-ins, you must have location permissions turned on in both your phone and app settings.
