How to change app permissions

  1. On your phone, open the Settings app.

  2. Tap on the GIG-A logo. If you can't find the app, select 'See all apps' and then choose Giga.

  3. Currently, the GIG-A app may not have access to your location, which could prevent it from functioning properly.

  4. You'll need to switch to the 'While using the app' or 'Always on' mode. Agreeing to let the GIG-A app tracks your location while using the app can enhance the security of your account.

Furthermore, you can adjust notification permissions or camera usage for document scanning here.

Your location data is required for using the app, and camera access is necessary for initial registration, but can be withdrawn afterward.

Tip: For the location, camera, and microphone permissions, you may be able to choose:

  • All the time (Location only): The app can use the permission at any time, even when you’re not using the app.

  • Allow only while using the app: The app can use the permission only when you're using that app.

  • Ask every time: Every time you open the app, it'll ask to use the permission. It can use the permission until you’re done with the app.

  • Don't allow: The app cannot use the setting, even when you’re using the app. We DO NOT recommend this. We will use this function to protect your account.
    Your location data is required to use the app, camera permission is required for initial onboarding and can be revoked later.
