Location Permission Required

Shutter+ asks for Location permission when you connect to a camera or set up GPS tagging. The access needed depends on the feature.

Why It’s Needed

iOS requires Location permission to read the name of the Wi-Fi network (SSID) your iPhone is connected to. Shutter+ uses this to verify it’s connected to the camera’s Wi-Fi.

This is an Apple requirement that applies to all apps that read Wi-Fi network names.

If you enable GPS tagging for a compatible Canon or Sony camera, Shutter+ also reads your iPhone’s location and sends it to the camera over Bluetooth. The camera embeds the location in photos as you shoot. Always location access lets tagging continue with the app closed or the phone locked.

Fix

Go to iOS Settings > Apps > Shutter+ > Location:

• For wireless connection: select While Using the App, or keep Always if you also use GPS tagging.
• For GPS tagging: select Always.

Keep Precise Location turned on in both cases. Approximate location is not sufficient for reading the Wi-Fi network name or for GPS tagging. On older iOS versions, Shutter+ may appear directly in Settings rather than under Apps.

If tagging has stopped, you can also open GPS location on your camera’s card and tap Review Location Access. Tagging resumes once the required permissions are restored and the camera is connected over Bluetooth.
