If Sniffies shows the wrong place or no location at all, permissions are usually the cause.

iPhone

Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services: turn it on, then set Safari Websites to 'While Using'. Also check the site's permission in Safari.

Android

Settings > Location: turn it on, then allow Chrome location access and check the site's permission in Chrome's site settings.

Safety first: verify people before meeting, meet somewhere public first, tell a friend your plans, and never send money or verification codes. Read the full safety guide.

Desktop

Enable location services in your operating system and allow it for the site in the browser.

VPNs and Wi-Fi

Turn off VPNs and move to an area with Wi-Fi if GPS is weak indoors.
