Problem: Location isn't working
After each step, check to see if the issue is xed.
1. Turn location o and then on again.
2. Turn airplane mode on, wait 15-20 seconds, then turn it o again.
3. If you're using a case, remove it and check if GPS is working. The case might be obstructing the sensor.
4. Check if Battery Saver is on. To save power, when Battery Saver is on, your phone disables location
services.
5. Turn your phone o and then on again.
6. Check for updates to the Maps app. After updating the app, restart your phone.
7. Clear the cache and data for the Maps app.

If location works correctly in safe mode, a 3rd party app is probably causing the issue. A lot of apps use
your phone's location. If these apps end up with corrupted les, it can aect your phone’s location too.
