All apple devices do not show location correctly

Hi, I have an iPhone 14, Apple Watch 7, AirPods Pro gen 1 and an AirTag. They all show the wrong location of my airport instead of their actual location (with me)


Everything is up to date and this issue popped up 2 days ago. Tried restarting everything, resetting location settings and turning off location services. Anyone else experienced this?

Hello EnderTheFerr3t,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities, and we'll be happy to help in any way we can. We understand you're having issues with the location of your devices being incorrect. You can find information about Location Services and how they work here: About privacy and Location Services in iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS - Apple Support


"Improve GPS accuracy

GPS accuracy depends on the number of visible GPS satellites. Locating all visible satellites can take several minutes, with accuracy gradually increasing over time. To improve GPS accuracy:

  • Make sure that you've set the date, time, and time zone correctly on the device in Settings > General > Date & Time. If possible, use Set Automatically.
  • Keep a clear view in several directions. Walls, vehicle roofs, tall buildings, mountains, and other obstructions can block line of sight to GPS satellites. When this happens, your device uses Wi-Fi or cellular networks to determine your position until the GPS satellites are visible again.


Crowd-sourced Wi-Fi and cellular Location Services

If Location Services is on, your device will periodically send the geo-tagged locations of nearby Wi-Fi hotspots and cell towers to Apple to augment Apple's crowd-sourced database of Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower locations. While you're in transit (for example, walking or driving) and Location Services is on, a GPS-enabled iOS device will also periodically send GPS locations, travel speed and direction, and barometric pressure information to Apple to be used for building up Apple's crowd-sourced road-traffic, roadway, pedestrian walkway, and atmospheric correction databases. The crowd-sourced location data gathered by Apple doesn't personally identify you.


About Bluetooth, data and Location Services

With iOS 13 or later and iPadOS 13 or later, an app must ask permission to use Bluetooth functions except to play audio to a Bluetooth device, which doesn't require permission. You can change your device's Bluetooth permissions from Settings > Privacy & Security > Bluetooth.


About your location during emergency calls 

For safety purposes, your iPhone's location information may be used when an emergency call is placed to aid response efforts regardless of whether you enable Location Services.

We hope this helps.


Cheers!
