Lack of support

Towards the end of last month I noticed that not ALL my trips was recorded on the Discovery driving App despite me not having changed anything on my phone or APP. I sought help first using the Discovery WhatsApp line, followed by email and despite receiving acknowledgement and reference numbers, I did not receive any assistance. I called spoke to Paul who took me through some steps on the phone including uninstall and reinstall, setting changes, problem persists. I email again no assistance other than reference number. Eventually I called again on Friday after frustration of more than a week of no assistance and like Paul, this latest agent took me through steps and setting changes. Luckily this time it so far seems to be working. As a result of their Discovery's lack of support, l lost driving points and the latest agent arrogantly told me I will not be allocated points despite seeking their since end of last month. Topical attitude from conglomerate institutions that ignore you and shrug you off with big Man syndrome responses

Hi Harold

Thank you for taking the time to speak with us yesterday; we appreciate it.

During our investigation, we identified multiple GPS_FAILURE warnings, resulting in no GPS data being received, despite all permissions being correctly enabled and location services being active. This may have been caused by background software updates.

Following your call with us on Friday, where the necessary settings were adjusted, we can confirm that your trips from Saturday, 6 June, have been recording correctly without interruption.

Kindly ensure that the following settings remain app**** on your device:
• DI app optimisation is turned off
• Power Saving Mode is turned off

We also recommend regularly rebooting your device and/or enabling Airplane Mode for approximately 15 seconds before turning it off again, as this helps refresh the GPS connection.

Please feel free to contact us should you require any further assistance.

Regards
Discovery Insure
