Check position for Auto Unlock (iOS)

The operating system of your iPhone detects your current position. The location services use GPS, Wi-Fi networks and mobile phone masts to determine the location of your smartphone. For Auto Unlock, the Nuki App checks your position again for security reasons, when you leave the geofence.

Which additional method should Nuki use to check your position?

You can customize the additional checking of your position via the expert settings. However, we recommend validating the location via GPS and Wi-Fi networks.

This option is available for iOS users only.

• GPS (default)
  Using GPS and location data of Wi-Fi networks for validating your position is usually more accurate than using only location data of Wi-Fi networks. Therefore, we use both methods for additional verification by default. However, it is also more power-intensive.
  
• Wi-Fi
  Using location data of Wi-Fi networks is usually less accurate. However, it is also less power-intensive. If there are many Wi-Fi networks in the surrounding area, the accuracy also increases. In areas where the GPS signal is weak, this method may be sufficient for validation.
  
• No additional position check
  In this case we rely solely on the information collected by the operating system
