Turning the location setting on or off

When the location setting is enabled, you'll get information such as weather forecasts, nearby restaurants, and driving route suggestions in your apps based on your current location.

1. From the Home screen, tap Settings > Location.
2. Turn Use location on or off to enable or disable the location setting.

Note: If you disable the location setting, apps and services will not be able to get your device location, but you may still get local results and ads based on your device's IP address.
