Location Services Learn about the different location services that an

iOS 7 or later device (iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch) can use to determine your location

Location Services allows location-based apps and websites (including Maps, Camera, Safari, and other Apple and third-party apps) to use information from cellular, Wi-Fi1, Global Positioning System (GPS)2 networks, and iBeacons3 to determine your approximate location

For example, an app might use your location data and location search query to help you find nearby coffee shops or theaters, or your device may set its time zone automatically based on your current location

Location Services You must enable Location

Services on your device and give your permission to each app or website before it can use your location data

In iOS 7, if you turn off Location Services and use Find My iPhone Lost Mode, Location Services will be re-enabled on the device as long as the device is in Lost Mode

Once Lost Mode is disabled, Location Services will return to its previous state

Location Accuracy Depending on your device

and available services, Location Services uses a combination of cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS to determine your location

If you're not within a clear line of sight to GPS satellites, your device can determine your location using crowd-sourced Wi-Fi5 and cell tower locations or iBeacons

Apps that can show your location on the screen, including Maps, indicate your current (approximate) location using a blue marker

Location Accuracy If your location can’t be

determined precisely, a blue circle also appears around the marker

The size of the circle shows how precisely your location can be determined—the smaller the circle, the greater the precision

Turning Location Services ON or OFF You can turn Location

Services on or off at Settings > Privacy > Location Services

You can turn Location Services on either during the Setup Assistant process or later through the Location Services setting

You can turn it off if you don't want to use this feature or to conserve battery life

You can individually control which apps and system services have access to Location Services data

Other Location ServicesBy enabling Location Services, location-based system services such as these will also be enabled:

Popular Near Me: Your iPhone will periodically send locations of where you have purchased or used Apps in an anonymous and encrypted form to Apple to improve a crowd-sourced database that may be used to offer geographically-relevant Apps

Frequent Locations: Your iPhone will keep track of places you have recently been, as well as how often and when you visited them, in order to learn places that are significant to you

Location-Based iAds: Your iPhone will send your location to Apple in order to provide you with geographically relevant iAds.
