Built for real mobile conditions.

Mobile tracking depends on permissions, battery settings, connectivity, and how Android manages background activity. Jitra Tracker makes those conditions visible so the user can understand whether tracking is ready, active, offline, or needs attention.

  • Background tracking when Android allows it and required permissions remain active.
  • Offline queue that sends pending locations when connectivity returns.
  • Last location and synchronization status.
  • Permission and battery optimization guidance.
  • Diagnostics that can be shared with support without exposing credentials.

Track it from the same Jitra workspace.

Once the phone starts sending location data, monitor the Object alongside the vehicles and devices already connected to Jitra.
