Location Services
Location Services lets apps such as Reminders, Maps, Camera, and third-party location-based apps
gather and use data indicating your location. The location data collected by Apple isn’t collected
in a form that personally identies you. Your approximate location is determined using available
information from cellular network data, local Wi-Fi networks (if you have Wi-Fi turned on), and GPS
(may not be available in all areas). To conserve battery life, turn Location Services o when you’re
not using it.
When an app is using Location Services, appears in the menu bar.
Every app and system service that uses Location Services appears in the Location Services settings
screen, showing whether Location Services is turned on or o for that app or service.You can turn
Location Services o for some or for all apps and services, if you don’t want to use this feature. If
you turn Location Services o, you’re prompted to turn it on again the next time an app or service
tries to use this feature.
If you have third-party apps on iPhone that use Location Services, review the third-party terms
and privacy policy for each app to understand how it uses your location data.
Turn Location Services on or o: Go to Settings > Location Services.
VPN
VPNs used within organizations allow you to communicate private information securely over a
non-private network. You may need to congure VPN, for example, to access your work email.
This setting appears when you have VPN congured on iPhone, allowing you to turn VPN on or
o. See “Network” on page 148.
