Changing Profile Location Permissions

Managing your location settings ensures your profile appears on the Recon Nearby list. This breakdown details how to reset your permissions.

Recon is a location-based platform and to ensure that your profile can appear on the “Nearby” List, we require all members to input either a manual location or allow access to their GPS location data.

You are able to switch between the methods whenever you want, but the method to do this depends on how you are accessing the platform:

Web / Progressive Web App (Desktop):

1. Open your preferred browser and login to your account on recon.com.
2. Click on the “Site Permissions” icon in the URL bar. This will look like a padlock or settings icon.
3. Click “Reset Permissions”.
4. Click “Cookies and Site Data” and then click “Manage On-Device Site Data”.
5. Click the Bin icon to delete any data shown to be collected by recon.com.

6. Refresh your browser or click the “Reload” button if prompted and login to your account.

    

Web / Progressive Web App (Mobile):

1. Open the same browser you used to install the app and login to your account on recon.com.
2. Tap on the “Site Permissions” icon in the URL bar. This will look like a padlock or settings icon.
3. Tap on “Permissions” and then “Reset Permissions”.
4. Tap on “Cookies and Site Data”.
5. Tap on the Bin icon to delete any data shown to be collected by recon.com.

6. Refresh the app/browser or close and re-open the app and login to your account.

    

Dedicated App (iOS):

1. Open your iOS Settings app and scroll down to “Apps”.
2. Tap on the Recon app in your list of apps.
3. Tap on “Location” and change the option to your preferred choice.
4. Close and re-open the app and login to your account.

Once you have completed the relevant steps, you will then be given the option to either choose your GPS location or to choose a manual location to place your profile.
