gps not working properly after iOS 9.3 update

Hi all.


After updating to iOS 9.3 my GPS cannot find my exact location. It keeps telling me I am in a big area, (Triangulating) seems like it does not activate the GPS.

Sometimes very little it works and give me the correct position, but 97% of the time its not working. Anyone else with the same problem?


Besides that: A hot phone & bad WIFI


iPhone 6 running iOS 9.3

iPhone 6, iOS 9.3

Folks, I have iPhone 6 and after updating to 10.2.1, I have lost wifi signal strength ( I have to sit in front of router to get signals) and GPS just cannot locate me. I did reset, hard reset, restore, got hardware checked at Apple but to no avail. I had to go out of town relying heavily on my GPS in phone and the **** thing just dint work. I never even dream that one day I will have to say the apple is not reliable. This has happened to me and this can happen to anyone.

I am having the same problem since updating my software a few weeks ago. Its coming up to 2 years since i have my iphone 6 and never had a problem with it. This seem to be affecting a lot of people and Apple is not doing anything about it.

I have an appointment with the Genius Bar in Westfield Stratford on Thursday 25/08/16 and will update on the result.

Same issues here, been on chat, phone calls, the Service Provider and on the phone again, soft reset, hard reset, factory reset, upgraded to 10.0, calibrated gps, reset network settings...jumped up and down, turned in circles and nothing is working...I am still being told to buy a $299 device from them....but this is not caused by me, it was caused after my 9.3 software install...I was told the software install caused the hardware issues/failures.

I had the same problem. My Apple Maps and Google Maps work fine when I'm connected to wifi. But on cellular data, none of the navigation apps worked. Apple Tech Support and multiple "Geniuses" were stumped. Then I stumbled on this and it worked!:


SETTINGS>PRIVACY>LOCATION SERVICES>make sure Location Services is toggled ON. Then in the middle of this screen: SHARE MY LOCATION>make sure Share My Location is toggled ON. If you found any of these to be toggled OFF then that was your problem (just like me).


Now my Apple Maps and Google Maps work just fine. Hope it works for you too!

Well, here's the reason that was given for having my posts deleted:

We removed your post ... because it contained information about beta software available only to Registered Apple Developers.

The thing is, the beta version that I installed is freely available to the public and not just Registered Apple Developers. I'm not a Registered Apple Developer and I don't think many of the others on this thread who have tried it are Registered Apple Developers either. So their reason for deleting the posts are false.

While you may not be a registered developer, you are a registered beta tester. As such, you're bound by certain terms.If you read the information available to you when you downloaded the beta software, one of the things it told you was you couldn't discuss it in the public forums. That has always been the case.
