Getting Started with Session Auto Start

What are the benefits of Session Auto Start?

  • Convenience: Automatically starts sessions according to a set schedule, saving you the hassle of manual starts each day.

  • Compliance: Ensures adherence to company policies by automating session starts.

  • Reliability: Prevents the risk of forgetting to start a session, ensuring lone workers are always protected.

Session Auto Start is exclusively available for Android devices running version 7.0 or higher. iOS users can utilise a similar function through a prompt delivered by Shortcuts described here.

How to Set Up

Open the App and navigate to 'Settings'

To enable this feature, Tap on on the button next to "Start a session automatically".

Note: In order for the Auto Start functionality to work, StaySafe needs the ability to access your location at all times. Tap OK to be taken to your system settings and choose 'Allow all the time'.

Select the days of the week for auto-starting sessions by tapping the corresponding letters to highlight your choices. You can adjust your selections anytime to match your changing work schedules.

Set the time for the session to start and the duration (from 1 to 23 hours). Click 'OK' once you are happy with your selections.


Once you're satisfied with your settings, tap Save at the top of the page. Your Session Auto Start is now set up!

Important Notes and Tips

  • Once a session starts automatically, you cannot edit the settings unless you end the session and return to the Session Auto Start menu.

  • Update your session settings anytime to match your changing work patterns and needs.

  • Regular session check-ins as dictated by your company policies will still apply. Stay alert for audible notifications to avoid false alarms.
