SHOCKING: How to disable location sharing on your iphone - You Need To See This

IPhone 16 Pro shown held in hand.

Sharing your location on an iPhone can be incredibly useful for various purposes, like navigating with maps or using location-based apps to keeping in touch with people. However, there are moments when you might want to prioritize your privacy and stop location sharing.

Fortunately, iPhones give you the flexibility to manage location sharing. You can turn it off entirely, stop sharing with specific apps, or disable it for individual people. If you're considering a fresh start, factory resetting your iPhone is also an option — just remember before any major changes, even the best iPhones should be backed up.
