iPhone GPS Problem: Causes and Solutions
Some settings on your device prevent GPS from working intentionally. Other reasons why the GPS feature does not work are a weak phone signal, outdated map data, or hardware problems. Although GPS problems are not a very common problem, they are still a problem that users complain about.
Non-hardware GPS problems are easy to solve.
- Turn the phone off and then on
- Switch to a phone-pulled area
- Update the iOS version
- Turn cellular data off and then on
Check Location Services
Phone GPS problem may occur if location services are turned off on your device. Check that this feature is turned on. If the location services are not turned on;
Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services, follow the steps to open it.
If location services are already open, try turning them off-on
Reset Location and Network Settings
If the above methods did not work, there may be a problem with your iPhone location or network settings. To correct this situation, you need to reset the location or network settings.
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Location and Privacy
Check Date and Time Settings
GPS will not work properly if your phone shows the date and time incorrectly.
Settings > General > Date and Time > Set Auto
Check Apps
When choosing location services for an application, you will encounter the options “always, when using, never”. For some applications, location information must be selected “always”. If you select this as ”using the app”, the GPS will not work properly. Be sure to select the appropriate location information for each application.
Some location-using applications, on the other hand, disrupt your GPS settings. To reset the location data of these faulty applications, follow the steps in the “Reset Location and Network Settings” item that we mentioned above.
