Location and microphone permissions

Location is how the radar centres on you and how the forecast knows where you are. Allow it when asked; “while using the app” is enough for the web version.

Microphone is only for voice control (the wake word and the mic button). The app never records or uploads audio; wake-word detection runs on the device.

If you tapped “Block” by mistake, browsers won’t ask again. To reset:

• Android / Chrome: tap the lock or tune icon left of the address bar → Permissions → set Location or Microphone to Allow → reload. For the home-screen app: Android Settings → Apps → LeadTime → Permissions.
• iPhone / Safari: Settings → Safari → Location → Ask or Allow; for the home-screen app, Settings → LeadTime.

The app tells you when a permission is blocked (“Location is blocked for this site…”) rather than just showing no fix.
