How do I turn on my location services?

After I updated my phone software to IOS 7 I can't seem to turn my location services on. How do I go about fixing this problem?

Hi JMcCoy79,


Welcome to the Support Communities!

You are referencing the correct article for Location Services.

If you are not able to turn it on, perhaps a good first step would be to restart or reset your iPhone, then switch your Wi-Fi or cellular data off and on.

Then try to access Location Services again.

Turning Location Services on or off

You can turn Location Services on or off at Settings > Privacy > Location Services. You can turn Location Services on either during the Setup Assistant process or later through the Location Services setting. You can turn it off if you don't want to use this feature or to conserve battery life. You can individually control which apps and system services have access to Location Services data.


Cheers,



- Judy
