Steps to follow
- 01
Open iPhone Settings
Find DailyWander in Settings and open its Location access options.
- 02
Allow the needed access
Choose the location setting that supports recording during an active walk. iOS wording can vary by version.
- 03
Keep Precise Location enabled
Precise Location usually produces a more useful route trace than an approximate location.
- 04
Run a short test
Start a brief walk, lock the screen for part of it, finish, and inspect the route in History.
What can interrupt recording
Force-quitting DailyWander, disabling Location Services, using restrictive permission settings, Low Power Mode, poor satellite visibility, or device resource limits can reduce the route recorded in the background.
Background location is used for the active walking experience. Review the privacy policy for the current data-handling details.
If you prefer not to allow background access
You remain in control of iPhone permissions. Be aware that the route trace may pause or become incomplete when DailyWander is not active on screen.

Common questions
Why does the route have a straight line or gap?
