Include your device model, iOS version, app version from Settings, and what happened. You do not need to send your trip history or precise location. Check screenshots for personal information before sharing them.
Finishing a trip
Open your active trip and tap Finish Trip. You can also finish from its Live Activity. In Settings → Finishing Trips, choose whether the app automatically finishes after time away. The app records the scheduled end time when you return; browsing the app keeps the trip open.
A trip is still running
Check your selected finishing policy. Arrival Suggestions only suggests finishing and never ends a trip on its own. Time-away finishing is applied when the app next runs and can be disabled. You can resume an automatically finished trip or adjust its end time.
Using location
Location is optional. Plate logging works without it. Location supports starting-town names, sighting maps, border estimates, and optional arrival suggestions. Change permission and Precise Location in iOS Settings. Arrival Suggestions can be disabled separately in the app. Location access is not continuous background route tracking.
Your saved trips
Trips are saved on your device. There is no developer-hosted trip account or sync service. Apple device backups may include app data depending on your settings. Deleting the app removes local data, so consider your backups before reinstalling.
Deleting trips
Delete an individual trip from trip history. To remove all local app data, delete the app rather than offloading it. Manage any device or iCloud backups separately in Apple’s settings.
Sharing a recap
A recap contains the trip name, date, collection counts, and region names. Recorded coordinates are excluded. A trip name may contain a starting town or other information you typed. You choose the destination in the system share sheet.
Plate images and credits
Images are representative examples, sometimes from earlier designs. Credits, original sources, available licenses, icon adaptation terms, and map-data attribution are in Settings → Artwork & Credits.
Live Activities
Enable Live Activity in the app’s Settings to show current trip progress on a supported iPhone Lock Screen or Dynamic Island. iOS controls availability and limits each activity’s duration; your saved trip remains in the app. Turn the setting off to stop showing your trip details there.
