Hello Goatvalley,


We'd be happy to help. If you're seeing a message about Location Services on your Home Screen, it's likely related to a widget you're using. We recommend going to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > [app name] and setting it to "Always". After that, the widget should refresh and show the intended content.


If you're seeing something else, please provide more information about what you're seeing.


Thanks.
