Apple recently recommended some settings to keep user accounts safe and also introduced new privacy labels that provide users with information about the privacy details of applications. Similarly, Apple also allows users to check who can see their iPhone’s location and also gives them the option to prevent that from happening. Read on to find out how.
Check which apps access your iPhone location
Head to Location Services from the Settings page and make sure the location service is turned on while you do so. Now, scroll down and here you will find all the apps, including third-party ones. Touch any application or application for which you want to manage location service and select Never, Ask next time, While using the application or Always.
Apple also gives you the option to turn precise location on or off. This way, you will be able to give an app permission to use your iPhone’s location, but without being discreet.
To do this, head over to Location Services again and toggle the Location Services toggle button to Off.
Please note that doing this will disable location access for all apps and services. However, Apple cautions its users that despite turning it off, custom location services will be temporarily enabled in case a user is using the Find My iPhone feature to enable Lost Mode.
But there is also a way to stop that, read on.
Manage iPhone Location Services with Find My iPhone
Open Find my app and tap a person from the list
Open the info card and select the option Stop sharing my location
Alternatively, you can completely disable location access for Find My iPhone to prevent it from accessing the location entirely, here’s how
Go to Settings, Privacy, Location Services.
Tap on Share my location and disable the button in front of it.
