My Iphone11 Pro got problems with Location Service after updating to the latest IOS 16.6. Even if I try to reset Location Service, restart apps or restart the device. Seems that all my apps that using Location Service fail to get location and get stuck. For example, Weather App, Yr App (another weather app) , and Google Map. Please consider fix this error ASAP.

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 16
even if i press on share location in imsg with someone its not working nd its not giving a notification in the msg that i sart sharing the location
My Iphone 15 pro max is also facing this issue. Im not able to use any location services within app even though they are on from settings
My Trial-and-error works but just you will miss an important feature, Find my phone. I turned off the feature Find My iPhone. Now all my location service is back to normal.
First, in settings, search the Location Services, then in Share My Location, turn off Find My iPhone.
Second, you need to reset the settings->general-Transfer or reset iPhone->reset->Reset Network Settings.
After it is back. then re-attach to WiFi and other stuffs, allow apps to use location services, etc. as normal.
It works for me for a day now. I think it is fine, but Find My iPhone is important. Waiting for the real fix.
i restarted my phone 2 time and my location still won’t turn on. when i go to settings and go to location i cant press it or turn it on. now i can’t use maps. I HAVE A IPHONE 11
How is your solution? Is this method really fix the problem? I tried the same but only reset the Location Service.( I don’t want to lose my network setting), it only works for a period, the problem still exist. if you confirm that your solution is work, I may have no choice for losing all my network settings.
We have three iPhone SE 2020s and still have the GPS issues with iOS 17. It started with 16.6 and has continued on. We do a full Erase All Content and Settings and that fixes it temporarily but within a day, it loses the GPS again.
Any suggestions on getting it to work without doing a full reset each time?
I did force restart as you mentioned before. I also did reset Location Service&Security in Setting. Both are only works for a while. The problem still exists after that.
Yes, that is correct. Me too. It works for a while and gone. Not sure how to solve it now. Support asked to reset the settings->general-Transfer or reset iPhone->reset->Reset Network Settings. This also works for a while and doesn't work after that.
Thanks for your info. I heard someone did the reset and reinstalled IOS from Apple store’s genius bar laptop. Even with that routine, the problem still exist. Glad to here that it works for you. Please kindly update us if your problem is really gone, may be another week later.
I have ios 17.2.1 apple14 and my location has not worked since the update as well as someone else in my household. I reset location and network. This fixed it for one day but then stopped updating location.
I also figured out Find My was causing this issue. I am able to get back by rebooting or using buttons to reset my iphone 12 pro. But then cannot open Find My or else issue returns. Ipad that I have does not have this issue, only iphone after latest update IOS 16.6.
I have an iPhone 14 & have tried everything to put my location services on, reset, turning mbl on & off but nothing has worked, please advise
many thanks
How do I recover a app that I accidentally blocked my location
Me too my location service not working, I tried to turn it on but its not coming on
My Google map is not. Working on my iPhone 11
Thanks for your reply. Fortunately, I didn’t try it yet. And yea, seems like it doesn’t happen to all devices. May I ask if all you have any setting in common with me that possibly caused the problem. Something like Family sharing ( I enabled it to sharing with my kids).
