A little help, right here.

Keep background location working

1. Open Tuki and choose Friends, Everyone or the circles you want to share with.
2. In Tuki’s background location setup, enable precise location and Android’s “Allow all the time” permission.
3. Keep device location/GPS and internet on. Allow notifications to see the tracking status and controls.
4. Follow the device-specific battery/background guidance in the app. Some phones also need autostart or unrestricted battery use.

The Android tracking notification shows the audience and last uploaded GPS time in supported versions. Removing Tuki from Recents should allow an active supported tracking service to continue, but device cleaners, battery restrictions or Android Force stop can interrupt it. Reopen Tuki if the operating system has stopped it. Update times show freshness; “online” is not a promise of continuous GPS coverage.

Stop sharing

Choose Only Me and turn off each active circle’s sharing switch. In supported Android versions, the tracking notification’s Stop sharing button stops general and circle sharing together. Offline stops take effect locally first and sync to the server when connected.

Chat heads & notification replies

In Profile → Settings → Message popups, enable chat heads and grant “Display over other apps” if you want floating conversations. You can move the head, open a conversation or drag it to the dismiss target. Disable the feature in settings at any time. Reply and Mark read are available on supported message notifications. Replies need a working connection; pending messages are not guaranteed to arrive instantly.

Join the Android closed test

Tuki is not yet publicly released. Only invited, opted-in Google accounts can install the closed-test version. Use the same account for the invitation and Play Store. Contact us if you want to ask about testing; opening a store link does not automatically enroll you.
