Why is my GPS not working on iPhone X?

I tried to use google maps and waze yesterday and both apps did not work, notifying me that gps was not available. Is anyone else having this problem? I read that there would be a software update with iOS 11.2 to fix the issue but I have already updated and it still doesn’t work.

Thank you.


I was having the same issue.


GPS turned on correctly but maps not keeping up with me or drifting. Direction pointing opposite way etc.


I don’t use my phone on a mount as I have been a passanger in the car with this issue.


Your post made me think what was around me. I use my phone case to hold my bank cards which have a magnetic strip. Once I took my phone out of my case my gps issue was fixed. The magnetic strip must have been interfering with the gps.

It seems like your GPS is not working as for most of the people here. If

your car is found at the start it's probably only thanks to GPS

triangulation and wifi geolocation.
