About location information
You can let your phone use GPS, Wi‑Fi networks, and mobile networks to estimate your location. Apps that have
your permission can use this information to deliver location-based services, such as the ability to check in, view
commute traffic, find nearby restaurants, or tag your photos with the location where you took them.
Turn location on or off
To control what location information your phone can use:
1.
Go to
Settings
> Security & location > Location.
2.
Turn it on or off to give or remove permission to use your location information. When it's off, your phone can't
find your precise location or share it with any apps. However, turning this off disables many useful features and
