How to turn off precise location on iPhone?

If an app does not need your exact position, you can turn off Precise Location and let it use only an approximate area instead.

Why It Helps
  • It gives apps less location detail while still allowing basic location-based features.
  • It is useful for weather, shopping, and many non-navigation apps.
  • You can control this setting app by app.
What to Do
  1. Open Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services.
  2. Select the app you want to adjust.
  3. Turn Precise Location off.
  4. Test the app to make sure approximate location is still enough for how you use it.
Pro Tip

Keep precise location on for turn-by-turn navigation and emergency-related apps, but turn it off for apps that only need a general area.
