    Steps

    Enable location history for iOS devices

    On the iOS tab, verify that the Log device location history check box is selected.

    BlackBerry UEM collects a device's location hourly and, if possible, when there has been a significant change in the device's location (for example, 500 meters or more).

    Enable location history for Android devices
    1. On the Android tab, verify that the Log device location history check box is selected.
    2. In the Device location check distance fields, specify the minimum distance that a device must travel before the device location is updated.
    3. In the Location update frequency fields, specify how often the device location is updated.

    Both the distance and frequency conditions must be met before the device location is updated.
  6. Click Add.
  • Assign the profile to users and groups. Users must accept the profile before the management console or BlackBerry UEM Self-Service can display iOS and Android device locations on a map. Windows 10 Mobile devices automatically accept the profile.
  • If necessary, rank the profile.
  • Locate a device.
