Settings ( ).
2. Tap on Location located under Personal settings.

• High accuracy: High accuracy mode uses
GPS, Wi-Fi, mobile networks, and other
sensors to get the highest-accuracy location
for your device. It uses Google’s location
service to help estimate your location faster
and more accurately.
• Batter saving: Battery saving mode allows
your device to estimate your location using
low battery-intensive location sources, such as
Wi-Fi and mobile networks. It uses Google’s
location service to help estimate your location
faster and more accurately.
• Device only: Device only mode allows your
device to estimate your location using GPS
only. It doesn’t use Google’s location service to
provide location information. This mode may
use more battery power and take longer to
determine your location.
When the location information is turned OFF, your device
location is not shared with any apps.
