What do some Dashboard changes take time to take effect?

Depending on the Dashboard device change you made, it may take sometime to reach the device.  Most changes are pushed to the device and take effect immediately.  The most common issue revolves around DNS and website browser caching.  We recommend that if you don’t see the change take effect after a period of time, that you clear the device’s cache.  Please review this article https://www.vxenetworks.com/clearing-cache/

Why does Wixio need access to my device’s location?

Wixio needs permission from your device to access your location so we can add that information to your Dashboard under the device’s location tab.  For Android this is done in Settings->Apps->Wixio->Permissions->Location.  For iPhone this is done under Settings->Wixio->Location->Always

How do you remove Wixio from your iPhone or iPad?

There are two ways to remove it.  Automatic and Manual.
