Turn Location-Based Services On or Off
Enable location-based services to allow apps and websites, such as social networks or maps, to estimate
your current location.
Your location is determined by:
•
The networks detected by your phone (like Wi-Fi routers, their signal strengths, and the type of
security they use)
•
The cellular networks detected by your phone (like the signal strengths of cell towers)
•
Latitude and longitude, altitude, and direction (as detected by your phone’s GPS) and the accuracy of
these readings
1. From Settings, tap Location Services > Configure Location Based Services (LBS) for your
applications.
2. Next to Location Services, tap On to enable location-based services, or tap Off to turn off location-
based services.
When location based services are enabled, a compass icon will appear in the top right corner
whenever an app or a website is accessing your location information (when peeking).
