Hello gerrycgc,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.


If we are understanding correctly, you are having an issue with your location showing as unknown and it isn't changing. We have a couple of articles for you to take a look at to address this issue.


First, take a look at this article and turn Location Services off and then back on. Then test the issue again: Turn Location Services and GPS on or off on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


About privacy and Location Services in iOS and iPadOS - Apple Support


Best regards.

I have the same problem. If I go to google.com in Safari, the bottom of the page always shows “unknown location“. If I press on “update location“, it doesn’t change a thing. My location services for safari are fully on in my settings on my iPhone. I’ve tried this in Safari, Brave browser, opera, and fire fox. None of them will cooperate. Crazy thing is, if I go to maps.google.com it will always show my location. It’s just the main website that won’t work. Any other website on safari with location services works fine. It’s just google.com


The reason this is frustrating for me is because I will many times use Google shopping tab to find products in my area. But since this issue, I can’t. My area is always “unknown“ so I can’t press the “available nearby“ button to find products available nearby.


i’m pretty convinced this is a Google coding issue, not an Apple issue
