Is there a fix for iPhone 6 GPS accuracy?

Both my wife and my iPhone 6 GPS lately has not been accurate. Tried everything:


  • Turn on/off GPS
  • Turn on/off all Location Settings
  • Reset network settings
  • Factory Reset, Restore from Backup, then Uninstall Google Maps, Reset, Reinstall Google Maps


Both Google Maps and Waze thinks I'm 100 ft away from where I am, which is a huge problem when I'm using it for directions (keeps thinking I'm a block away or off the freeway). The discrepancy between where I am and where it thinks I am gets progressively worse as I drive.


The strange thing is, this has happened for both my wife's iPhone 6 and mine around the same time, so I do not think it is a unique issue to my iPhone 6.


I am on Verizon Wireless, latest updates on iOS and apps.

iPhone 6, iOS 12

Hey apple_ben,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities! I see you're experiencing an issue with the GPS on your iPhone.


You have definitely already done a lot of great troubleshooting, so awesome job there! I also recommend taking a look at the link below and working through any steps you haven't already done there.


If the Maps app isn't working on your Apple device


Thanks again, and have a great day!
