Turn Location Services and GPS on or off on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Learn how to turn Location Services and GPS on or off for individual apps.

How to give apps permission to use your location

Some apps might not work unless you turn on Location Services. 1 The first time an app needs to access your Location Services information, you’ll get a notification asking for permission. Choose one of these options:

• Tap Allow to let the app use Location Services information as needed.
• Tap Don’t Allow to prevent access. 2
• Tap Ask Next Time to choose Always While Using App, Allow Once, or Don’t Allow.

iOS and iPadOS devices might use Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to determine your location. GPS and cellular location are available on iPhone and iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular) models.

How to turn Location Services on or off for specific apps

1. Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
2. Make sure that Location Services is on.
3. Scroll down to find the app.
4. Tap the app and select an option:
   • Never: Prevents access to Location Services information.
   • Ask Next Time: This allows you to choose Always While Using App, Allow Once, or Don’t Allow.
   • While Using the App: Allows access to Location Services only when the app or one of its features is visible on screen. If an app is set to While Using the App, you might see your status bar turn blue with a message that an app is actively using your location.
   • Always: Allows access to your location even when the app is in the background.

From here, apps should provide an explanation of how the app will use your location information. Some apps might offer only two options.

How to share your specific location

With iOS 14 and iPadOS 14, some apps can use Precise Location to get to your specific location. To share only your approximate location — which may be sufficient for an app that doesn’t need your exact location — turn Precise Location off. Here’s how:

1. Go to Settings > Privacy, then select Location Services.
2. Select an app, then turn Precise Location on or off.

Home > Change Location > A Full Tutorial about iPhone Location [iOS 15 Supported]

March 14, 2020 (Updated: August 19, 2021)

There are many reasons why people would want to know how to change iPhone location.

• People may want it for safety reasons, privacy concerns, or to fool GPS-based games, like Pokemon Go, into thinking they are somewhere they’re not.
• People may also want to access content and other apps (like banking apps) that are available in one country, but not the other.

You might think it is challenging to change location on the iPhone given the device’s built-in GPS. That’s not the case, however. With a few taps and the help of some programs, you can pretend like you are in a different state or country altogether. So no matter what your objective is for changing or knowing how to turn on/off location on the iPhone, we will show you everything about iPhone location.

Part 1: How to Turn On/Off Location Service on iPhone

If you just want to turn on/off your location altogether, that is relatively straightforward on the iPhone. You’ll need to go into your Settings app and change it from there. Below are three simple steps.

Step 1: To start, open your Settings app and scroll down until you see Privacy. Tap on that.

Step 2: Tap on Location Services in the following pop up screen.

Step 3: Next, you’ll see all your iPhone location settings. You can enable Location Services. If you want to disable Location Services for every app and scenario on your iPhone, then you can toggle off Location Services.

You can also be more granular and revoke or add location permission to particular apps. So, if you don’t want restaurants and other apps «spying» on you to offer you excellent deals, this is how you turn that off.

These adjustments are only for how to hide your location on iPhone. These steps will not work to change your location (e.g., to fool an app like Pokemon Go).

Part 2: How to Change Location on iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch

While the above tips work to turn on/off iPhone location, they won’t change it. Apps like Pokemon Go will not work as intended since they cannot detect where you are. For these scenarios, you want to change your location. Fortunately, by using the following two ways, it is also not hard to accomplish on the iPhone.

Change Location with iPhone Settings

If you want to change your location to access the App Store in a different region, then you will need to change your account’s country in the iPhone settings page. Changing your country this way is very straightforward.

But keep the following suggestions in mind before changing iPhone location.

• The subscriptions related to your Apple ID has been cancelled.
• Make sure your Apple ID credit balance is zero. You can’t change location if you have credits.
• Remember to back up your iPhone data to avoid any errors.

Then you can start to change location on iPhone with the step-by-step guide.

Step 1: Go to your Settings app > your name > iTunes & App Store > your Apple ID.

Step 3: Tap on the Country/Region section to change the region of your Apple account.

This method will only change iPhone’s region. When you go to buy and download apps from the App Store, you will see apps from this region. Similarly, when you listen to Apple Music, rent movies, and so on, you will see content that is available in Germany, if you selected Germany, the United States, if you chose the USA, and so on. The apps themselves will typically rely on the data they get from Location Services to figure out where in the world you are.
