Users with Samsung or Android devices may experience problems connecting to Awaio lockers when the Nearby devices or Location (GPS) permission is disabled.

Awaio relies on Bluetooth communication. When Android blocks the "Nearby devices" or "Location data" permission, the app cannot detect or communicate with lockers. Some Android manufacturers require location data permission for Bluetooth-enabled device communication.

How to Fix It

Step 1: Open Awaio App Info

Long-press the Awaio app icon and tap the Info (i) button.

Step 5: Turn On Location from settings menu
