Android: mobile device settings for the best experience

Android device settings for vWork

When using an Android mobile device to run the vWork mobile app there are some app permissions that you need to allow (turn on) in your Android device settings. These are separate from the vWork mobile app settings. You will find these in the Settings menu for your Android device under the vWork app.

The settings you need to look at for the vWork app include: 

  • Location: allow this so your dispatcher can see where you are on the Map and also enable location-based alerts; such as the ETA Alert. Location tracking also helps dispatchers to assign jobs to you that are near your location.

  • Camera: allow this so that you can take photos when these are required to complete jobs.

  • Notifications: allow this to enable vWork to send notifications about new jobs and job updates.

  • Storage / Files and Media: allow this if you need to select photos from your photo library to complete jobs.
    💡 Tip: You can restrict which files vWork has access to. Make sure files that you need to use for vWork jobs are saved on your device in the location that vWork uses.
