Hello kartik2458,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.


We see that you are having issues with location services on your MacBook Air M1. Location information is determined based on your Wi-Fi network and the networks detected around you. Is Wi-Fi enabled on your Mac? Additionally, are you using any VPN or other security applications that could be changing the location of your network? If something is blocking Apple from identifying your IP address this would prevent these services from working.
