Popular Trusted Places include home, school, or a caregiver’s home. To add a Trusted Place:
- Open the app

Set a custom radius with a “geofence” (a manual boundary of 100-800 feet in diameter.) A Wi-Fi fence can also speed up notifications — a boundary established by your home Wi-Fi router.
Please note: the Jiobit will not report location updates until it leaves the geofence. Large geofences will result in delayed notifications and location updates.
Connect Your Trusted Place to Wi-Fi
Connecting to a home Wi-Fi network will improve battery life and notifications. To use your Wi-Fi signal as your Trusted Place boundary at home, click Add Wi-Fi on the Trusted Place card.
Remember—your Jiobit and phone must be:
- Connected via Bluetooth
- Within the Trusted Place in order to connect to its Wi-Fi credentials
Please Note:
The below Internet service providers are not compatible with the Jiobit app:
- HughesNet
- Starlink
- And any other satellite based ISPs
