Fortunately, using this feature isn\u2019t a complicated process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, open the settings on your iPhone. Then, select Privacy and click on Location Services. Click on the button to activate the feature.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Location services use GPS, Bluetooth, crowd-sourced Wi-Fi hotspots, and cell tower locations to identify your exact location. Besides, applications that use location services will appear on a list on the same page.
