How to: keep your GPS always on

2 min. readlast update: 04.01.2026

GPS Requirement for Deliveries

When delivering, GoPeople needs to track your location at all times. To enable this, please make sure your GPS is turned on.

GPS is important because it helps us:

  • Track how long you have been at a location
  • Determine if you are on time, early, or running late
  • Confirm whether you have followed the correct route

Why GPS Matters

If you wish to raise a payment dispute (e.g. Waiting Fee or EWT accuracy), your location services must be enabled so we can properly investigate.

GPS is also used to:

  • Offer you jobs closer to your current location or home

Important Note

If your GPS is turned off, you may not be able to see any jobs on the “Jobs” screen in the app.

For Apple (iPhone) Users

  1. Go to Settings
  2. Tap Privacy & Security
  3. Select Location Services
  4. Turn Location Services ON
  5. Ensure it is also enabled for the GoPeople app
