Turning on monitoring of devices on your network

To turn on monitoring of devices connected to your home Wi-Fi network:

1. Connect to your home Wi-Fi network.
2. Open Kaspersky Security Cloud.
3. On the main app window, tap Devices on my network.
4. In the Devices on my network section, follow the instructions on the screen to turn on the feature.

After the feature is on, the app will scan the network and show you a list of connected devices and information about these devices.

On Android 9 or later, the app requests permission to access your device’s location to find information about the Wi-Fi network (SSID, BSSID). The app uses this data to check Wi-Fi networks and turn on VPN, determine your home Wi-Fi network and notify you about connected devices. The app does not use the received data to track the device's location.

Without permission to access your location, Secure Connection and Devices on my network features will work not as intended.

Kaspersky Security Cloud does not have access to GPS data and does not monitor your actual whereabouts. Permission is only required in order to get information about the Wi-Fi network (SSID, BSSID).

To give the app access to the device's location, ensure that the use of location for your device is turned on and then grant access to location—particularly for Kaspersky Security Cloud. On some devices, you need to grant permissions manually.
