Hello, hiii_loove!


Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities! We understand you're looking to have Safari show results for your location instead of another city. We'd like to lend a hand!


To clarify, are you using a Mac or an iOS device?


If using a Mac, we recommend using the following resource to help with Location Services and allowing Safari to show results based on your current location:


Allow apps to detect the location of your Mac - Apple Support


If you're using an iOS device, can you provide more details about what's happening when you try to search in Safari?

The answers to these questions can help with future replies:

  • Are you searching for results in your city, but it shows somewhere else?
  • Have you checked to ensure Safari was allowed to view your location? This can be found in the resource where you reached out from.
  • Are you connected to Wi-Fi or a VPN? If you disconnect, does it provide you with more accurate results?


All the best.
