Location services are required to be on for your photo submissions for any task that requires a photo. If this option is not turned on and you proceed with the task, you will have to submit an explanation (must be at least 25 characters) that will be reviewed by the Customer explaining why you did not turn this feature on and decided to proceed.
📌 Keep in mind that if you do not turn this feature on, this may affect the Customer's ability to confirm the work was complete, and they may dispute that task, ultimately resulting in non-payment. Each Customer has the right to dispute any task that is not completed or does not have all the requirements of the task met.
