Location Services Greyed Out

Location services are greyed out and do not allow to be toggled on manually. I have already done the following:

-reset location services

-reset network

-restarted numerous times


i do not have a folder called “restrictions” under settings>general.


Any other ideas? This didn’t happen until after the last update.

iPhone X, 12

Hi Love-Laughter,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I see that Location Services in grayed out in your iPhone Settings. You've done a great job trying to get this resolved! I'm happy to help.


If you haven't already, check your parental controls. Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > make sure Location Services is set to Allow. Take a look at the link below for more information on parental controls:

Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


Let us know the results. Please include any other troubleshooting steps you may have tried.


Have a wonderful day!
