OOONO – Which phone settings do I need to enable for the OOONO app?

OOONO App

A few tweaks for the best experience

To get the most out of your CO-DRIVER, a few phone settings need to be enabled. Getting these right means your CO-DRIVER connects automatically when you start driving — and delivers reliable, real-time warnings every time.

Before you continue, make sure to select your operating system below.

Android · Step 1

App settings

Go to Settings and scroll down until you see Apps. Locate the OOONO app in the list and select it.

In App info, make sure the following are set correctly:

  • 1
    Notifications — Allowed
  • 2
    Permissions — Location (Choose "Always")*, Use precise Location, Nearby Devices and Notifications
    Select "Permissions" to grant or remove permissions
  • 3
    Remove permissions if app is unused — Disabled
  • ✓
    Under Usage, tap Battery and select Unrestricted

*Why location access needs to be "Always"

To make sure your CO-DRIVER can warn you at the right time — even when the app is running in the background — location access must be set to Always allow.

This allows the OOONO app to detect when you start driving and send relevant alerts without you needing to open the app manually.

Your privacy: Location data is only actively used when you are connected to your CO-DRIVER and are actually moving. If no connection is established and the app remains inactive in the background, we do not process or store any of your location data.

On some newer iPhone models, Adaptive Power Mode may be enabled. This feature automatically limits or closes apps running in the background to conserve battery, which can interfere with the CO-DRIVER connection.
