How to Stop Apps from Tracking Your Precise Location on iPhone

When a ride-sharing app asks you for your location, it’s for a good reason. But some apps needlessly request your location for doing menial tasks. Here’s how you can stop those apps from tracking your precise location on your iPhone. iPhone users who are running iOS 14 and above can stop apps from using their precise location. Instead, apps will know your approximate location and won’t be able to pin you down to a street or a landmark.

There are two ways to access this feature. You can toggle it on from the location access prompt (one that you get when an app first asks you to grant location access) or from the Settings app. When you get the location access prompt, tap the “Precise” button to enable or disable the Precise Location feature.

If you’ve already granted an app location permission and you want to change the setting later, open the “Settings” app on your iPhone and go to the “Privacy” section.

Here, choose the “Location Services” option from the top.

Now, select an app from the list.

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and tap the toggle next to the “Precise Location” option to disable the feature for the given app.

This feature will only appear if you have enabled Location Services for the app. Now, go back to the “Location Services” section and repeat the process with other apps.
