Location Services on the iPhone combines data from GPS satellites, Wi-Fi routers, cell towers and Bluetooth connections to pinpoint your phone's geographic location. With your permission, iOS apps can use your location in a variety of ways: A mapping app can center on your current location, while a social media app or the Camera app can tag images with your locale. To turn Location Services on or off, or to change settings for an individual app, use the iPhone's Settings app.
