Many applications are tracking the user’s location to fine-tune the features provided and better target ads nowadays. There are also some functions that depend on the user’s location.
However, location tracking may affect the battery life performance of the device. Also, if you’re concerned about privacy, you may want to disable location access for most applications.
In this step-by-step guide, we will show you how to disable location services on your iPhone.
Turn off location services on iPhone:
Step 1: First, open the “Settings” application on the iPhone by tapping the gear icon on the home screen of the phone.
Step 2: In the “Settings” application, click on the “Privacy” option.
Step 3: Now, click on “Location Services” in the “Privacy” option.
Step 4: Turn the position service switch to the OFF position. You will receive a pop-up warning confirming your action. Click the “Close” option.
Please note that turning off the location service on the iPhone will turn off the feature, but if you use the “Find My Service” provided by Apple to put the device in “lost mode”, you can remotely turn on the feature.
Turning off location tracking will disable location tracking for all applications on the device. However, if you want to disable it for selected applications, you can fine-tune the settings and disable location access for individual applications by accessing the entry for each application on the “Location Services” settings page.
