Tutorial: How To Fix Always On Location Services On iPhone

There could be two possible ways why your phone’s location services are on always-on mode. First is if your phone is searching for date and time and other is that if some app is accessing your location.

1. To turn off location services due to date and time:

1. Go to Settings > General > Date & Time.

2. Now, if the ‘Set Automatically’ toggle bar is on (green), turn it off.

3. This will restrict your phone from searching for your location to automatically saving your phone’s battery life.

If you still see the location services icon, you can take up the following steps.

2. To turn off location services due to application:

1. Go to Settings > Privacy.

2. Tap on Location Services.

3. It will display the location services status (Never/While Using the App/Always) of each app on your smartphone.

4. Scroll down and tap on the app whose status says ‘Always’.

Now you can either choose Never or While Using the App to switch off the always on location services on your device.

Now you won’t see the triangular location services option when you are not using that app.
