Wrong location on the maps

My iPhone shows its location always about 500 metres away from its real place. iPad shows that iPhone is at home with me. If I open maps on iPhone - I am 500 meters away

Go to Settings > Privacy & Security, then select Location Services. Select an app, then turn Precise Location on or off.


Turn Location Services and GPS on or off on your iPhone ...


How to share your specific location

In iOS 14, iPadOS 14 and later, some apps can use Precise Location to get to your specific location. To share your approximate location only – which may be sufficient for an app that doesn’t need your exact location – turn Precise Location off. Here’s how:

  1. Go to Settings > Privacy & Security, then select Location Services.
  2. Select an app, then turn Precise Location on or off.
