Turn off Location Services
Location services allow apps on your Mac, iPhone, Apple Watch or iPad to use your current location to give you a better, more specific experience based on where you are.
For some apps, like Apple Maps, Location Services is a must. Other apps, however, don’t really need this feature, and you’d save battery life and keep your current location private if you’d turn it off.
Manage Location Services on iPhone or iPad:
- Launch the Settings app.
- Scroll down and tap on Privacy.
- Select Location Services.
- Manage which apps can use Location Services or turn it off altogether.
Manage Location Services on MacBook:
- Click on the Apple menu on the top left.
- Select System Preferences.
- Click on Security & Privacy.
- You may need to click the Lock icon on the bottom left of the window to allow changes.
- Manage which apps can use Location Services or turn it off altogether.
