The Geofence trigger functionality relies on Google Play services to operate. On devices without Google Play services or in rare cases where the Play services functionality doesn't work correctly an alternative [[Trigger: Location Trigger|Location Trigger]] is provided. This uses a custom MacroDroid implementation and has no dependency on Google Play.

=== Troubleshooting ===
As mentioned the Geofence functionality relies on Google Play service which can get into a broken state in some cases. If you are experiencing problems with the Geofence functionality not working then please try clearing the application data for the Play Services app via your device's settings app. This will clear any problematic cached data and will have no negative consequences on other functionality.
If the trigger still fails to function please try the [[Trigger: Location Trigger|Location Trigger]] as an alternative.
