# I can't connect to a local device on iOS or macOS

If you cannot connect to a host on your local network from iOS, iPadOS, or macOS, make sure Termius has the `Local Network` permission:

1. Open the system **Settings**.
2. Find **Termius** in the list of apps.
3. Make sure **Local Network** is enabled for Termius.

If this permission is disabled, Termius cannot connect to devices on your local network.

For more details about the `Local Network` permission, see [Apple's documentation](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211870).
