Location Services on iPad mini 4 not working.

My location services isn’t working properly on my iPad mini 4 device. I have no antivirus or VPN installed. This is an issue for me as I bought it second hand to use for my drone. Once I hard reset the device it will work some times, but most of the time it doesn’t work at all. Can Apple please fix this issue, see it is a common problem with their devices. Maybe release an update that fixes this issue?


Tried everything on the internet for this issue, with no luck. Surely a company like Apple should have fixed this issue already?

I'll assume that you have wi-fi turned on? The iPads get their location information based on nearby wi-fi networks. Only the cellular iPads have a GPS receiver to help with location services.
