Make sure no one else can see where you are
If you are one of those users who has ever suspected that someone may be watching you and tracking your location, the iOS tutorial that we bring you today will help you to help you stay calmer and act in case you are being tracked by location.
There are 5 steps that we will have to check to find out and we will tell you about them below.
Checklist to make sure no one can see where you are:
1- Stop sharing your location with applications and services:
Even if you want to do it for a short period of time, go to Settings/Privacy/Location Services and turn off Location Services. This prevents apps on your device, like Maps , from using your location. No one is notified when you turn off location services, but some features may not work properly.
2- Grant permissions to apps individually:
If you need to use certain apps that require location permissions, like Maps or ride-sharing apps, you can grant permissions to individual apps by going to Settings/Privacy/Location Services and allowing only certain apps to use those location services .
3- Stop sharing your location in the "Search" app and make sure no one can see where you are:
To do this, go to Settings/Privacy/Location/Share my location and deactivate "Share my location". If you're worried someone might have access to your Apple ID, you can also temporarily turn off Find My iPhone from that same menu.
4- Stop sharing your location with a particular person:
To stop sharing your location with a particular person, go to the “Search” app, go to the “People” tab, select the person you want and tap on the “Stop sharing my location” option » . If you stop sharing your location in the Find My app, the person won't receive a notification, but they won't be able to see you on their friends list. If you re-enable sharing, they'll get a notification that you've started sharing your location with them.
5- You may be sharing your location with others through third-party applications:
If you did not deactivate Location Services in the Privacy Settings, as we have told you in point 1, check the applications you have installed on your device to see if any of them share your location and follow the instructions to stop sharing it.
We hope you found this tutorial interesting and that you share it with people who may be interested, who in our opinion are all owners of a Apple device. You never know when we are going to have to implement these types of actions.
Greetings.
