What's New in Everbridge Mobile App

For Android version 12 onwards, Safety Connection features such as SOS, Check-In, and Safe Corridor (all of which require the user's location data) have been enhanced to capture the employee's location for both "Precise" and "Approximate" location permission settings.

If you're an Android 12 user, you may notice new app permission popups based on the cell phone manufacturer's settings after you upgrade to the new version of the Everbridge Mobile App. There are no updates to the level of permissions required for existing functionality. Please refer to Everbridge Mobile App Guide. 

User Benefits

Everbridge recommends enabling the "Precise" location permission to ensure that the app user's most accurate location is shared in times of need. This lessens the margin of error for responders and allows them to help the user as quickly as possible. 

Exception
Location Tracing Inside Geo-fences requires the user to provide the "Precise" location permission to assess if the user is within a pre-defined geo-fence and send a warning push notification if required.
