For MEATER products to connect to your phone or tablet, Bluetooth has to be enabled, and you'll need to allow notification permission for the MEATER app.
There are also some individual permissions that you might need to check, depending on what kind of phone or tablet you're using.
iOS devices
Not only does Bluetooth have to be turned on, but it also needs to be allowed specifically for our app. You can do this by going to Settings > Privacy > Bluetooth and flipping the switch next to "MEATER".
Android devices (Android 11 or older)
In order to scan for your MEATER device, our app needs location permission. This is a requirement from Google that affects a lot of Android apps using BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy). To set this up:
- Turn on Location services in your mobile device Settings menu.
- Go to Settings > Apps > MEATER > Permissions and allow location.
Android devices (Android 12 or newer)
As of Android 12, you won't need any location settings enabled to scan for MEATER devices. You'll just need to allow Nearby devices permission, and you can go to Settings > Apps > MEATER > Permissions to turn this on.
