My iPhone keeps displaying stores, etc. in New York and New Jersey. I’m in neither of those places. Should I be concerned?

iPhone XR, iOS 15

DKwtih2m, 


Let’s isolate the situation a bit further. When using Apple developed apps such as Maps, Safari, Apple Support app, etc do you notice the same behavior where your location seems to be misidentified? Do you use any type of VPN software or profile on your iPhone or other device that is connected to your Apple ID? 


You can also check the location settings for these third-party apps to find out if you’ve allowed them to use your device’s location to pull information. The place to check that is in Settings > Privacy > Location Services. Turn Location Services and GPS on or off on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Thanks.

I get no error messages. I have an IPhone XR and safari as my browser. ( not sure if that’s what you are asking )

For example, if I am shopping Target’s app the location of local stores is not anywhere near me. I have to type in my zip code several times to actually get to my local store. Just not understanding and don’t know how to explain any further


thank you for your reply.
