StaminaStamina asks for each permission for a specific feature. You can say no to any of them: what stops working is whatever depends on that permission.
| Permission | What it's used for |
|---|---|
| Location | Drawing the map and measuring distance and pace during the run, also with the screen locked. It also shows the map and the weather for your session. |
| Precise location | Needed on every run: with approximate location there's no map, and without a map the run can't be saved. |
| Motion | The phone's steps and barometer, so distance keeps adding up where GPS can't see, and to measure elevation. |
| Apple Health, on iOS | On the phone, only reading your daily steps. On the watch, reading heart rate and distance during the run and saving your runs as workouts. |
| Health Connect, on Android | Reading your daily steps and saving your runs as workouts, with distance and heart rate. Heart rate is measured by the watch. |
| Notifications | Today's plan, the reminder before each session, heat, your medical clearance expiring, “Your price drops”, workout completed and a photo that wasn't uploaded. |
| Apple Music, on iOS | Knowing which song was playing, to show it in your splits. On Android it isn't requested. |
| Camera | Only to take your profile photo. On Android it isn't requested: your phone's camera opens. |
| Photos | Saving the image you share. To pick photos, Stamina doesn't read your library: it only receives the ones you choose. |
If location isn't turned on
- On the run screen, tap the location notice and then “Open Settings”.
- Open Location and choose “While Using the App”.
- Turn on “Precise Location”.
If location is off for all apps, turn it on in your phone's Settings: on iOS, under Privacy & Security; on Android, under Location. More in GPS drops out or the map jumps.
