How do I improve my Location Accuracy?

Improving your location accuracy depends on your device and how you're connecting (Wi-Fi, GPS, etc.). Here's how to make sure your phone or computer can pinpoint your real, precise location:

📱 On Mobile Devices (using browsers or our Betty app)

🍎 iPhone / iPad (iOS)

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

2. Make sure Location Services is ON

3. Scroll down to the app you're using to play with us (e.g., Safari, Chrome, iOS Betty app)

4. Tap it, then select:

   • ✅ While Using the App (or Always)

   • ✅ Precise Location: ON (if shown)

👉 Precise Location is key – without it, your phone may only provide a rough estimate.

🤖 Android

1. Go to Settings > Location

2. Turn Location to ON

3. Tap App permissions or App location access

4. Select the app and choose: (e.g. , Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Android Betty app)

   • ✅ Allow only while using the app (or Always)

   • ✅ Use precise location (toggle ON)

👉 Also go to Settings > Location > Location Services > Google Location Accuracy and turn it ON. This uses Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and mobile networks to boost accuracy.

💻 On a Computer (Windows or Mac)

🪟 Windows (Windows 11)

1. Open Start → Settings.

🌈 Improve Accuracy in Chrome (Windows/Mac):

1. Use Wi-Fi – not Ethernet. Wi-Fi helps triangulate your location more accurately.

2. Open Chrome > Settings > Privacy & Security > Site Settings > Location

3. Make sure "Ask before accessing (recommended)" is enabled.

4. When prompted by a website, click "Allow" to share your location.

5. If needed, go to the site, click the 🔒 lock icon/slider levels in the URL bar > Site settings > Set Location to Allow

💡 If the location was previously blocked, refreshing is required for the change to apply.

💡 Tips:

• If you're using a desktop, Wi-Fi is essential – otherwise, your location will be estimated just by IP, which is not very accurate.

• Bluetooth and Wi-Fi networks near you are used in urban areas to dramatically improve precision.
