Location Services Maps Articles

Location services let your phone or computer know where you are, which apps and websites use to provide directions, weather for your area, or local search results. You might want to turn location services on to use maps or find nearby restaurants, or turn them off to protect your privacy or save battery life. Understanding how to control this setting puts you in charge of when your device shares your location.

These guides walk you through turning location services on and off across different devices and operating systems, finding where the setting lives on your screen, and deciding which apps should have permission to know your location. You'll learn the differences between location services and location permissions, and how to troubleshoot when location features aren't working the way you expect.
