What permissions does SBB Mobile need and why? Location For connections from your current location, the GPS function must be activated so that SBB Mobile can find the nearest stop. This also applies if you want to have the nearest stop displayed in the timetable. Calendar and e-mail You can save connections in your own calendar and send them by e-mail (to friends, an external calendar). SBB Mobile requires read and write permissions to be able to import your desired connection into the calendar. Access to the camera SBB Mobile requires access to your camera to take pictures directly in the app for your personalised touch timetable. Internet access SBB Mobile requires internet access to search the timetable as well as for ticket purchases. Memory To support offline functions, e.g. station/stop list, connections (history) and purchased tickets, SBB Mobile requires access to your device’s memory (saving app-specific settings).
