Allow Location Access for a Website on Android

If you tapped Block (or “Don’t allow”) when a website asked for location, you can re-enable it in your browser settings (site permission) and, if needed, in Android system settings. Menu names vary slightly by phone model and Android version, but the steps below work for most devices.

✅ If you’re using Chrome (Android)

Allow location for that specific website

  1. Open the website in Chrome
  2. Tap the padlock (or “site info”) in the address bar
  3. Tap Permissions (or Site settings)
  4. Set Location to Allow
  5. Reload the page
If you don’t see the padlock / site info option
  1. In Chrome, tap ⋮ (top right) → Settings
  2. Tap Site settings
  3. Tap Location
  4. Make sure location is allowed in general, then check the Blocked list
  5. Tap the site → change to Allow (or remove it from blocked)
After allowing, reload the site and choose Allow if it prompts again.
✅ If you’re using Firefox / Edge / Samsung Internet

The idea is the same: open site permissions and switch location from Block to Allow.

Firefox

  1. Open the site
  2. Tap the padlock (address bar) → Permissions
  3. Enable Location (Allow)
  4. Reload

Edge / Samsung Internet

  1. Open the site
  2. Tap the padlock / site info (or browser menu)
  3. Open Permissions or Site settings
  4. Set Location to Allow
  5. Reload
If you can’t find “Permissions,” search inside the browser settings for Site settings or Permissions.
✅ If it still won’t work

1) Make sure Android allows location for the browser

  1. Open Settings → Apps (or Apps & notifications)
  2. Select your browser (e.g., Chrome)
  3. Tap Permissions
  4. Tap Location → choose Allow only while using the app
  5. (Optional) Turn on Precise or Use precise location if available

2) Make sure Location is on globally

  1. Open Settings → Location
  2. Turn Use location ON
  3. (Optional) Turn on Google Location Accuracy / Improve Location Accuracy

3) Reset the site permission (last resort)

  1. In Chrome: ⋮ → Settings → Site settings
  2. Tap Location → look under Blocked
  3. Tap the site → change to Allow (or remove it)
  4. Reload the website

Tip: If the site still doesn’t prompt, try closing the browser completely and reopening it, or open the site in an incognito/private tab to test. You can also try Settings → Apps → Chrome → Storage → Clear cache (clearing cache is usually enough; clearing storage is more disruptive).
