The extension of the lockdown is also accompanied by some tightening.In Corona hotspots, a limited radius of movement of 15 kilometers applies for the time being, which may only be left with good reasons.

But when do you cross this 15-kilometer limit?Not everyone has the map of their region in their heads and every time they get their cell phone out of their pockets is also impractical.There is a practical solution to the problem on the iPhone: location -dependent memories.

With the help of this you can be notified if you are more than 15 kilometers away from home.We will explain to you below how you create such a memory.Under Android you have to install a free third-party app.But with this it works the same way.

The movement radius determined in this way is only an approximate guideline.Because depending on the federal state, different assessments apply.In most countries, the city or local border is used as the basis.In Saxony, on the other hand, the actual home address.

Create location -dependent memories on the iPhone

Place -dependent memories can be easily created on the iPhone via the "Memories" app.Simply lead the following steps.

In the app, a new memory, for example, called "Caution, radius is exceeded".Then tap on the I symbol to the right of the name.

Create the slide switch at "Location" and select "Own" in the options.

Now enter your address or choose "Current Place".

Activates the "When leaving" option.On the map you can now adapt the size of the radius according to your wishes.

Save the memory and you get a push message as soon as you leave the radius.

Under certain circumstances there are also third-party apps in the App Store that send you location-dependent alarms.However, we recommend using the memory app, since it is already pre-installed on every iPhone, nothing costs and is easy to use.

Create location-dependent memories on the Android cell phone

Setting a location-dependent memory on Android devices is a little more cumbersome than on the iPhone, but still possible.On the one hand, you can create the radius via a website in connection with Google Maps.Here you will not receive a warning.On the other hand, there are third-party apps in the Play Store, which also enable a location alarm as on the iPhone.

Among other things, the free "NAPLARM" app offers these options.The app can be used for free, but dazzles advertising.You can find alternatives when you are looking for "location alarm" in the Google Play Store.

The subsequent setup of a memory works with these apps similar to the iPhone.You define your location and indicate how big the radius should be.Then choose that the memory arrives on your cell phone when leaving the radius.
