When the trip sharing app asks you for your location, it's for good reason. But some apps unnecessarily request your location to perform menial tasks. Here's how to prevent these apps from tracking your exact location on your iPhone.


This feature was first introduced with iOS 14 for iPhone, which was released in 2020. It can prevent apps from using their exact location. Instead, the apps will know your approximate location and won't be able to locate you on a street or landmark.

The iPhone already comes with multiple location control features, such as the ability to allow an app to access your location only once. This is another tool in Apple's arsenal.
