Location services

Why can’t I turn on location services on my iPad (os 15.4.1) ? In general services I can’t toggle the switch for location services - it’s not lit. What did I do?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

To LotusPilot: Turns out, I had disabled “allow changes” on the location and privacy screen. (I’m a noob!) But at least I’m os15 now. Woohoo! Thanks for your help. (I’m not really stupid, just uneducated!)

Good to hear that you’ve both identified and resolved the problem.

Being new to iOS/iPadOS and iPad, have you found the iPad User Guide? The Guide is a rich source of frequently overlooked information - and is available both online using a web browser (such as Safari), or as an Apple Books download:

Try updating to the current version of iPadOS - this being iPadOS 15.5. The update will also restart your iPad - this action often clearing an isolated software issue.

If the problem persists after updating, perhaps you could post a screenshot of your settings page - as this may provide some clues.
