You can disable GPS tracking completely or restrict it to specific apps to enhance privacy.
Turn Off Global Location Services
- Go to Settings > Privacy & Security.
- Tap Location Services.
- Toggle the main switch OFF.
🤔 Protip:
Turning Location Services off globally may disable features like “Find My iPhone” and Maps.
Manage Individual Apps (Recommended)
- In the Location Services menu, tap an app (e.g., Google Maps).
- Choose an access level:
- Never: App cannot access GPS.
- Ask Next Time: App must ask permission every time.
- While Using the App: GPS active only when app is open (best balance).
- Always: App tracks background location (battery drainer).
