I use a safari web site that can refresh my location. It has always worked on my iPhone until ios 10. Now I get a message that reads "position could not be detected". I've reset location services, turned them off and on, rebooted my phone, reset network services...nothing I've tried has worked. This site worked fine in IOS 9.3.5.
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 10
I had the problem today (1/24/2017). I checked and made sure it is an https website like suggested in this thread (it is), but still couldn't resolve. Then after about a minute, I refreshed the website and the issue resolved itself. I didn't change any settings, but maybe that will help someone else: Refresh your screen.
I am having the same issue. Has anyone come up with a solution?
I am also having this same exact problem. It would be great to get a fix!
This happened to me too on both the my iPhone and my iPad, both after upgrading to iOS 10.
It's especially vexing because now I have ni way to use Safari for location dependent sites.
Time to download Chrome?
I tried another browser and had the same results. I think location services is broken. Because of iOS 10, I refuse to update my iPad. Next time apple comes out with a new major iOS version, I'm going to wait at least a month before I install.
I backed up my phone, reset and cleared the entire phone, then recovered it and that did not fix the issue. There is something fundamentally wrong with location services in iOS 10. Last time I jump on the upgrade band wagon. I've updated to 10.0.02 and it still doesn't work. Have tried another browser and that doesn't work either.
I'm not having issues with iOS 10.0.2 and location services. Have you checked Apple maps, and/or Find My iPhone to see if those are working? If so, then the GPS and location services are working. Have you checked with this website to see if anyone else is reporting issues with their site and location services with iOS 10.
It appears to just be a specific website now that I look into it further. Thanks guys.
In IOS 10 and OSX Sierra location services only work for secure web sites, i.e. those that start https://
Its supposed to be a security feature, bur expensive for those of us who publish this sort of software.
Thanks for the tip, sailorphil!
Unfortunately the site seems to use HTTPS, so I'm not sure where to take it from there.
It's the same for me. After I checked the web site, I have confirmed that it is using HTTPS:// and the location still doesn't work. It does the same thing on the newest MAC OS Sierra. Safari gives me the same crappy error.
I downloaded Firefox on both devices and it works on the MAC, but not on the iPhone. There is definitely some kind of glitch with the iPhone's location services. Wish I would have never updated its iOS.
I believe i fixed mine...I went to my settings then to compass and turned on my true north direction ...my position is now detected
Still having issue after upgrading to 10.2, still no fix
IOS 10 Position could not be detected
