Configure permissions and notifications

The app requires the following permissions to work properly on your device:

• Location: To automatically determine your location, based on which search suggestions are generated.
• Notifications: To allow Yandex Navigator to send you push notifications (popup messages). For example, a notification may suggest that you leave a review about a place you recently visited.
• IDFA (iOS device ID): To give you more accurate recommendations in Yandex Navigator.

After installing the app, grant the required permissions in the device settings. The path and menu element names may vary depending on your device.
