If you have Location Services enabled on your iPhone, apps (and system services) you approve can check your location. Here’s how you can toggle GPS and other location-tracking methods off and on, easily.
First, open Settings by tapping the gray gear icon on your home screen.
In Settings, select “Privacy.”
In “Location Services,” tap the switch beside “Location Services” to turn it off.
As soon as you flip the switch, you’ll see a pop-up warning. It reminds you that Location Services can be turned on remotely if your iPhone is placed into Lost Mode using the Find My iPhone service. Tap “Turn Off.”
