How to turn on Precise Location for the Tapo App

Geofencing is a location-based service that triggers a pre-defined action when you enter or exit a specific place. Your exact location is needed to improve the Geofencing performance. If the location cannot be located or is not accurate, you can enable the Precise Location function. Take the Tapo App as an example and here’s how.

For iOS (iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 or later)

Enable Precise Location and you can apply your exact location to the Geofencing feature.

1. Go to “Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services”.

2. Scroll through the list to select Tapo. Then enable the Precise Location function.

For Android (Android 14 or later):

Enable Get location info and you can apply your exact location to the Geofencing feature.

1. Go to “Settings > Apps > Permissions”.

2. Tap Apps to scroll through the list or just search the app name to select Tapo.
