iPhone: How to Enable Location Services

Location services it is a service that can be qualified its a iPhone to provide location-based information. This includes the user’s current location, home and work address, and the locations of nearby points of interest. The iPhone will use Wi-Fi networks, cellular networks and GPS to determine the location of the device.

With the option Location Services on your iPhone, you can allow and prevent apps from using your phone’s GPS location. You can manage it both per app and at the system level. We will show you how to enable location services on your iPhone.

While Location Services are disabled, your apps cannot track your GPS location. If you come across an app that needs location data (like a food delivery app) to work, it’s easy to turn the option on. You can also give some selected apps your location while blocking it for all other apps, as we’ll explain below.
