Why are location services all greyed out on Apple Watch 8, OS10

Location services is toggled on on both my iPhone and watch.


Regardless of what app I choose to view, all options are greyed out.


WTH is happening and how do I rectify this?

Hi davina285,


If you are unable to make changes in Settings for Location Services, see if you have restrictions turned on in Setting > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions. If this is turned on, there is an option for Location Services that can either Allow or Don't Allow Change. If it says Don't Allow Change you will need to change it to Allow. In changing it, you will need the passcode used to set up Content & Privacy Restrictions.

Take care.
