Hi! I see you're experiencing a long delay with location verification in the نفاذ (NAFATH) app. Let’s work together to get that fixed.

To start off, could you tell me if:
- This delay happens every time you try to verify your location or just occasionally?
- You have a stable internet connection when this happens (WiFi or mobile data)?
- You have recently updated the app to the latest version?

Meanwhile, here are some general quick steps you can try on your Android 10 device with WebKit browser to potentially resolve the delay:

1. Check Internet Connection: Make sure your internet is strong—location verification needs a good connection.
2. Restart Device: A simple device restart can clear temporary glitches affecting the app or browser.
3. Clear Cache & Data of Nafath App:
- Go to "Settings" → "Apps" → Find Nafath → "Storage" → "Clear Cache" and "Clear Data".
This can fix corruption or buildup slowing the location verification process.
4. Enable Location Services and Permissions:
- Ensure Location is enabled on your device, not just in the app, but in system settings.
- Also, check app permissions under "Settings" → "Apps" → Nafath → Permissions → Location.
5. Try Switching Networks: If you are on WiFi, try mobile data or vice versa. Sometimes one network has restrictions affecting verification.
6. Update or Reinstall: If you're not on the latest Nafath app version, update it. Or uninstall and reinstall the app to ensure a fresh setup.

If you’ve tried these already, please let me know which ones so I can suggest more advanced troubleshooting or check if there are any known issues with the Nafath verification servers.

Would you be able to check on these points? That’ll help narrow down the cause quickly.

It's taking very long to finish verifying my location

Thanks for sharing that the location verification is taking a long time. Since you are using Android 10 with WebKit, and it concerns the Nafath app's geo-verification, here’s what I found and can suggest:

1. Verify You Are Physically in Saudi Arabia:
Nafath’s location verification system is linked to the Jawazat (Saudi immigration) database and may flag your location if it detects you outside Saudi Arabia. If you are abroad or on a VPN, the system might delay or fail your location verification1.

2. Disable VPN or Proxy Services:
If you are using any VPN or proxy, especially those routing traffic outside KSA, try turning them off and verify your location again.

3. Check Location Permissions:
Double-check that the Nafath app and your browser have permission to access precise location data in your Android settings.

4. Review Biometric and Image Verification Steps:
Sometimes the location verification slowdown is tied to delays processing biometric data or selfies. If you face issues there, make sure you follow instructions carefully and have good lighting, a clean camera lens, and a stable internet connection2.

5. Try Reinstalling the App:
If you suspect the app might be glitching during verification, uninstall and reinstall the latest Nafath version from the official store.

6. Check Network Stability:
Confirm your WiFi or mobile network is stable and try switching the network to see if that speeds up the process.

7. Time-Sensitive Actions:
According to official guidelines, some steps during biometric verification need to be completed within 60 seconds. Delays beyond this time can cause errors, so be prompt during verification5.

If you’ve tried these and still face the same delay, it might be a temporary issue with the Nafath server or Jawazat integration. In that case, you can contact Nafath support directly or send a detailed query to [email protected] for assistance.

Would you like me to walk you through checking and adjusting any of these settings on your device? Let me know!
