Hola @Uzo,

This is a workaround but I believe it’d do the same.

> \*Note: geolocation functionality requires a Glide Pro App. I was recently asked if an app could prompt users (delivery personnel) to update their geolocation in app so that an admin can monitor the drivers and keep them accountable. Here’s how I approached it: You can use this same trickery to display an in app notification that users must acknowledge before continuing in the app. Enjoy!

that is a little solution, it makes all tabs disappear, and make visible the one with message… i can deal with that temporally.  
but still i would love just a small popup window, so users wont loose focus on what they doing.

I see it’s useful, and it earns you some money, but users can get annoyed. Do you like youtube ads? You probably don’t. 😛

I, personally, care more about my UX than money.

A pop up in any app is basic stuff… I don’t understand why this is not a Glide basic feature
