Location Services not working on iPhone

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!

This happened to me too. My parents couldn't see my location after updating to one of the newer IOS updates. I took it into my local Verizon store and they got it back working in less than 3 minutes.

The associate said to do the following:

Settings > Click your name at the top > Find My > Toggle the "Share My Location" off and on to reset it. You may have to turn your phone off and back on to complete the process. I did this with my Mom's phone and it worked as well.

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 am having the exact same location problems on my iPhone 12 Pro after updating to IOS 16.6. You are not alone! Apple, please fix.

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!

Yeah it’s still working for me suwat49. Had no problems since I reset my network settings.

Yeah, I spoke too soon. Woke up this morning and it’s not working again. So frustrating!

I have turned off family sharing. It was on before when it all stopped working. It’s off now after I reset it but the problem is still happening, so I don’t think it’s that.
