And it is that Apple does not want you to touch this, because today the consumption of battery, data or any other concern you can have, and which is why many people do it, it is absurd, because it barely has a remarkable effect, and we will only have to remove it on specific and necessary sometimes.
How to deactivate location on iPhone
To do this, as we said, there is no easy accessible button, so it will have to be done through the phone settings, following these steps:
Settings> Privacy> Location> Disable
The truth is that it is very simple. Once we reach the location section we can remove it at a general level, or even do it application by application, since possibly we only want WhatsApp, or a specific one, do not have access, while Google Maps, for example, it will continue to function, so it will depend on our purpose, but the process is very simple.
Advantages and disadvantages of doing so
Regarding the advantages and disadvantages of removing the location, we barely have, especially if we talk about advantages, since the only ones that occur to us are to falsify our position, or prevent Google from “tracking us” Something that although it is true that they do, it is not dangerous either, and if we want to use Maps or other Google app, they will end up knowing our position, so it is not really a benefit to eliminate it.
As for cons, yes they exist, since you may not want Apple to know things about you, but honestly, I prefer advertising from my city, that they don't know anything about me and teach me something about even another country, which interests me less. In addition, any app, game or browser that needs it, will ask you, and you will have to be activating and deactivating this all the time, something quite tedious.
In addition, depending on your operator, country, etc., you can have problems when making emergency callswhere they cannot locate yourself precisely, which can even make your life be in danger, so it is something to take into account, since a simple click can change everything.
On the other hand, if you have automation such as lighting the lights when you get home, or locate your phone if you lose it, they will not work it, so they are more things you think, and a complete deactivation may not be the best.
Therefore, think well whether or not you want to do this, although as we already said, At battery level and data consumption, it is insignificantso it is not profitable to do it if you think that it will last more.
And you, are you one of those who prefer that no one knows where it is, or, on the contrary, you like that all apps and services work well despite this?
