Is this a personal iPhone that you have full access to (not a company, work, or device that someone else set up for you)?


You can try opening Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions.


If Content & Privacy Restrictions is turned on: Tap Location Services, then choose Allow Changes to allow changes from Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services. If you choose Don’t Allow Changes, you can only change Location Services settings from Content & Privacy Restrictions, and you won’t see any prompts asking for your location.
