# Enabling PingID mobile app permissions for iPhone

We recommend enabling all PingID mobile app permissions.

## About this task

If you accept all pop-up requests when you install PingID mobile app, all required permissions are enabled by default. If you need to enable them at a later date, you can do so through the PingID mobile app settings on your device.

## Steps

1. On your device, go to **Settings → PingID**.

   ### Result:

   The PingID mobile app settings are shown.

2. Tap the relevant slider to **On** to enable any of the following settings:
