The default settings in Apple’s iOS for your iPhone and iPad allows your every move to be tracked and stored using location services including GPS.
If you don’t want Apple (or anyone who happens to be playing with your iPhone) from seeing everywhere you have been recently then you should turn off this default location tracking “service”.
Below is a step-by-step guide to turning of location tracking in iOS for your iPhone. The same steps apply in iOS for your iPad.
Step 1 – Tap the “Settings” app on your iPhone home screen
Step 2 – Scroll down until you see the “Privacy” setting
Step 3 – Tap the “Privacy” setting
Step 4 – Tap “Location Services”
Step 5 – Scroll down to and tap “System Services”
Step 6 – Slide “Frequent Locations” to off (not green)
Step 7 – You’re done!
Now, to increase your privacy even more and also get access to blocked overseas streaming services (Netflix, BBC iPlayer and more), learn how to choose a virtual private network (VPN) service at my other post by clicking here.
