Offline Mode and Synchronisation
If you are reporting from an area with weak or disrupted mobile connectivity, Extra Scoop operates in Offline Mode:- Captured footage is encrypted and queued locally on your device.
- An offline banner indicates pending dispatches in your queue.
- Once network connectivity is restored, the application securely uploads the queue in the background without losing original capture timestamps or location data.
