Automatic trip recording needs the right permissions.

MileFree checks the following iPhone settings before automatic trip recording can work reliably.

1

Location Services

Location Services must be turned on in iPhone Settings.

2

Location Access: Always

Automatic recording in the background requires MileFree to have Always location access.

3

Precise Location

Precise Location should be on so route and mileage calculations have the location accuracy required by the tracker.

4

Motion & Fitness

MileFree uses motion permission as part of automatic driving detection on a real iPhone.

5

Background App Refresh

Background App Refresh should be available for reliable background behavior.

6

Automatic Trip Recording

The feature itself must be enabled inside MileFree. The app includes a readiness screen that shows which required setting still needs attention.

If a trip is missing

Confirm all items above, check that automatic trip recording is enabled, and remember that GPS reception and iOS background restrictions can affect detection. If the issue continues, contact support with your iPhone model, iOS version, and MileFree version.
