MYOB Team – Geolocation Not Working on iOS and Android

Hi Tech Team,

 

We are currently testing MYOB Team before rolling it out to our staff and have encountered an issue with geolocation.

iOS Devices tested:

  • iPhone 14 Pro – iOS 27.0.1
  • iPhone 16 – iOS 26.5
  • iPhone 18 Pro Max – iOS 27.0.1

There is no option to allow location access while using the MYOB Team app, and the app does not prompt for location permission when opened. Location therefore shows as OFF in the MYOB Team portal.

 

Samsung Galaxy S20 – Android 13

Location permission is enabled and set to Allow while using the app, but geolocation still shows as OFF in the portal.

 

Could you please advise how we can resolve? 

 

Appreciate your response. 

 

Thank you.

  • Thanks Doreen. Confirming that all the settings are correctly configured on all the phones and in the portal. 

    The android phone location is allowed as well for the app but still showed OFF in the portal. Also, we are testing inside the perimeter of the location but seems to be not working. Hope you can help us with this. Thank you.

    Hi Shenanigan_0919,

     

    Thanks for sharing all those details and device info. Because the same behaviour is occurring across several iPhones and an Android device, it may not be isolated to one device or permission setting. First, check the location setup in the MYOB Team admin portal:

     

    • Go to Locations and open the relevant location.
    • Confirm the time capture type is Clock on, Clock off mobile.
    • Make sure Enable geolocation is selected.

    MYOB Team records the employee’s location when they clock on or off. An Off status means the phone’s location service wasn’t captured for that interaction. The employee also needs to be within 200 metres of the business location for the result to show as In perimeter.

     

    Please also make sure the MYOB Team app is updated to the latest available version, as keeping the app current can help avoid unexpected behaviour. For more information, see Using the MYOB Team admin portal and Using the MYOB Team mobile app. If you’re still having issues with MYOB Team, you can reach out to our support team through the Contact Us page.

     

    Cheers,

    Doreen
