3 iPhone Location Settings Tech Experts Say You Should Change ASAP To Ensure Privacy

Keeping your iPhone as private and secure as possible is more important than ever, especially with so many apps requesting access to your location, contacts, and other personal data. While most of us want to protect our information, the reality is that some apps, like maps, weather, or Uber and other ride-sharing services — simply won’t function properly without certain permissions. It can feel like a constant balancing act: giving apps just enough access to work as intended, while still maintaining control over your privacy.

The good news is that Apple gives you a lot of flexibility when it comes to managing these settings. With just a few quick adjustments, you can limit which apps track your location and when they’re allowed to do it. Here are three key iPhone location settings you should be aware of— settings that may be worth changing to help ensure your personal data stays as protected as possible.
