Turning location data on and off

For certain functionalities, the Bouwpas app requests access to your phone’s location data. The app will automatically ask for this permission when needed. If you want to change the setting later, it can be a bit tricky to find. Here’s a guide on how to enable or disable location access for the Bouwpas app.
