Location Services not working on iPhone

This worked for me!! Seems it have a nice system reset. Thank goodness!! It was annoying. Oddly enough, the only thing I could get to work with location services (other than find my) was google maps 🤣

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?

My daughter and I hv the iPhone 13 and never had problems sharing location. For the past couple weeks it says no location found even tho we have everything set correctly (airplane mode is not on, location is on, find my app is on etc) . Also my elderly mom always allows me to see her location n it's say no location found and even if I try to request location it says "request location unavailable " please help with this..yes all phones are updated to 17.1.1

I just replaced my brand spanking new iPhone15 Pro with another because of all the malfunctions I’ve had. It took an act of God and left me in a very precarious position but I’m hopeful the new phone will be better functioning. Meanwhile, I cannot recommend the 15 to anyone. Location, wifi, CarPlay, battery issues, unable to charge, overheating, crackling noises (loud popping like a fire is going to start) when typing intermittenly, dying in the middle of nowhere, and more…. Oddly, Apple. Freely admits many of these issues and put the phone out anyway. Meanswhile, none of my apple devises are working for location services now even though they’re turned on. I drank the coolaid years ago, but I may have to rethink Apple products for the first time in years.

I am having this same issue on iPhone 13 after the 17.3.1 update. It is driving me nuts! Maps and weather are intermittently showing in the list under location services, so I can't update to always when using and widgets. I keep trying to fix it thinking I must have something wrong but no matter what I do it asks me every time if I want to allow my location and now it is happening on my watch! Please fix this!

I have had problems with my phone ever since Apple reset my phone! I can’t get maps or any sites to work while in my car!! I can’t see where anything else needs turned on. I could use some help with this problem.

This did NOT work for me. I still do NOT have "Precise Location" available and/or working on my "Find My" app. even when activated in the settings. I have other apps, like WAZE and Google Maps, that are working perfectly fine.

My phone is: SE 2022 with iOS 17.5.1

Did apple update something to fix this and break other things? I'm oncall for a fortune 20 company, and can't find my iphone, which has my security token on it, and my apple watch is finding no devices. Since MS Auth decided they didn't want to support auth via apple watch, I'm in trouble.

I'm going to have to move to android if they can't keep this working. All these companies refusing to work together, makes doing just about anything near to impossible in a reliable way.

I spoke with someone in IT a while ago who told me I should never update software on my devices. Reason being your device already comes with software that is compatible with it. Updating a newer version of software onto your phone will always cause issues because there are differences that will make it incompatible with your phone capabilities. The whole point of them getting you to download a new software with “cool new features” is so that your devices begin running slow and need to be updated as well. My last few iPhones I never updated software on and never had any issues.

i bought this phone from Bangladesh! There was no issue on location. But when i shift to Russia after that my map is not showing my exact location. They show that i am in the river how funny is it !!!! And the location didn’t move!

Hi! What's the behaviour of the apps that leads you to believe that they're stuck? Are there any errors that appear?

sorry to update GPS still does not work.

Thanks Birdtcv. Your trial and error solution worked for me!
