Hi there! I understand that your USAA DriveSafe app is not recording all your trips—that can definitely affect how your driving is tracked. To help you out, could you share if you’ve noticed this happening with all trips or just shorter ones? Also, are you seeing any error messages or issues with app permissions or location services on your iPhone?
In the meantime, here are some common and effective steps you can try to address the issue with trip recording on iOS 18.7:
1. Check Location Permissions: - Go to your iPhone Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services. - Find USAA DriveSafe in the list and make sure Location Access is set to “Always”. This lets the app track your trips even when in the background.
2. Enable Precise Location: - Still in the app’s location settings, make sure “Precise Location” is turned on, so it can accurately track your trips.
3. Motion & Fitness Permissions: - On iOS, the app uses motion sensors to detect driving. Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Motion & Fitness, and ensure “Fitness Tracking” is enabled for DriveSafe.
4. Allow Background App Refresh: - Go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh and make sure it’s enabled for DriveSafe. This helps the app continue tracking even if you're using other apps.
5. App and iOS Updates: - Check the App Store for any USAA DriveSafe updates and install them. Also, having the latest iOS updates can resolve compatibility issues.
6. Open the App Before Driving: - Sometimes launching the DriveSafe app before starting your trip can help ensure it begins tracking properly.
7. Trip Length Consideration: - Note that very short trips sometimes don’t get recorded by the app. If your missing trips are very brief, that might be why.
If you’ve already tried these or if the problem persists, we can explore advanced solutions or look into potential app-related or account-specific issues.
Does that match up with what you’ve already done? Let me know how it goes or if you’d like me to walk you through any of these steps!
