Based on what I found, here are some steps you can try to resolve the geolocation problem on your iPhone:


1. Check Location Services Settings:

- Go to Settings ➡️ Privacy & Security ➡️ Location Services.

- Ensure that Location Services is set to ON

- Scroll down to the specific app and make sure it has the correct permissions (e.g., "While Using the App" or "Always").


2. Enable Precise Location:

- Some apps require precise location for accurate geolocation.

- In the same Location Services menu (above), select the app and set Precise Location to ON


3. Reset Network Settings:

- Go to Settings ➡️ General ➡️ Transfer or Reset iPhone ➡️ Reset ➡️ Reset Network Settings. This will reset Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular settings but won't delete your data.


4. Disable Low Power Mode:

- If Low Power Mode is enabled, it might restrict location accuracy. Go to Settings ➡️ Battery and set Low Power Mode to OFF.

Incorrect Location Shown of iPhone:


Connect your iPhone to WiFi:

The location shown is all baed on an IP address. So, how is this connected? Connet it using WiFi, and it should show up right then and there.
