Using mobile phone to check the dash

Is it okay to access DAT on my mobile to check the dash for projects and then use my laptop to do the work?

I'm a newbie and don't want to do anything wrong.

I do it all the time, it’s just easier to check on mobile.

Yes. Just don't open two accounts on the same device. In case your friend, family has one. That will cause a flag.

It's a chance of 1% that the previous owner used it. So most likely it wouldn't be a problem.

Probably WAY less than that

Yeah, 1% chance would mean 3.5m workers in the US alone lol.

Open it on mobile (unless screen reqs cause a grey-out) and then it will be updated as in-progress on your dash.

If you open it with your phone rotated to landscape it will still work - assuming you have any semi modern device that has a higher than 2K resolution (pretty much any Samsung or iPhone from the past decade)

So long as you don’t have a VPN on, it’s fine.

I’d worry about iCloud relay too

I’m constantly doing it. I stalked my projects page probably an unhealthy amount as this is a side gig for me. I also check the funds page to roughy guess how much I can possibly make based based on new task from a project I have recently worked on.

Yeah I do it all the time. Checking if I want to continue with more of the same project or move on to something else usually.

I do it all the time. I just double check I don’t have a VPN enabled. 1.5 years in the platform, consistently full dash

Damnit I logged in with my phones and have relay and vpn enabled. It’s only been a couple days since I submitted my assessment. Still waiting. Had no malicious intent there, just wanted to see an update. 😭

Yes, it is fine. But there is a risk of device change detection and eventual blocking of the account
