Detecting if a user is at home

583 Views Asked by At

Apple Maps has the ability to route users from home to work from iOS 7 onwards. Is there any method, public or private, which allows detection of wether or not a user is at home?

Check out the "What's new in Core Location" WWDC 2014 video about how to use the CLVisit API to detect when a user is at home, work, etc. https://developer.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2014/?id=706

This is only available from iOS 8 and up. So for implementing on iOS 7 there is no Apple api solution.

No there is not. You'd need to roll your own custom solution to enable this and get permission from the user to add their home location to your app. As you can imagine, Apple will not allow 3rd party developers to this sort of information without the user's permission.
