Approximate or exact location permission on iOS
Being able to choose whether we want the apps to locate us exactly or approximately is an advance in terms of privacy. One of the best functions, in the privacy section of iOS.
Of course, unless it's a navigation application like Apple Maps or Google Maps, all Other apps do not need to have access to our exact position in order to work. An example of this, among many others, are the weather weather applications
If a tool doesn't need to have our exact location in order to work, why are we going to give it to it?
How to Change Approximate or Exact Location Permission on iOS:
We can do it in two ways that we explain below:
When installing the application:
As soon as the app is installed, if it requires permission about our location, we can manage if we want it to locate us exactly or approximately by clicking on the following option:

In addition, as you can see in the image, it also gives us the possibility of whether we want it to locate us when we use the app, once or never.
From iOS location privacy settings:
If we already have the application installed and we want to change the setting that we are discussing in this article, you should do the following:
- Access Settings/Privacy/Location .
- Once in the menu, we will select the app in which we want to manage the location permission.
- A menu will appear in which we can see an option called "Exact location" that we can activate or not, as we wish.

How you see is something that can be modified in a very simple way.
Without a doubt one of the best functions of the operating system of the iPhone. Being able to access the privacy management of many of the functions of our devices is something that is very necessary today.
