Hi @MysticEcho_56, great question!
To completely turn off location services on your iPhone and prevent any apps or services from tracking your location, follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Scroll down and tap on “Privacy & Security”.
- Tap “Location Services”.
- Toggle the switch at the top to OFF (the switch will turn gray).
- This will disable location services for all apps and system services.
Note:
Turning off location services will prevent apps and even some Apple features (like Find My iPhone or Maps) from using your location. If you ever need to use those features again, just follow the same steps to turn location services back on.
Tip: If you want more granular control, you can instead scroll through the app list below in the Location Services menu and set individual permissions (like “Never” or “While Using the App”) for each app.
If you’re interested in monitoring how location services are used or want to make sure your child’s device can’t re-enable tracking secretly, you might want to consider parental control solutions like mSpy. mSpy can help monitor and manage location settings for added peace of mind.
