Hello guys.
Welcome to Tenorshare channel.
Have you been tracked location from some apps or your friends on your iPhone?
In this video, I will introduce you 7 methods to help you hide your location on iPhone to
protect privacy.
Now let’s dive in.
If you don’t want to share location on iPhone, turning on airplane mode can do a great favor.
It is a built-in feature that can prevent your iPhone to connect to any devices nearby
or get calls during busy hours.
Swipe down from the top of your iPhone to bring control center.
Here you can see an airplane icon.
Tap on it and the airplane mode is enabled.
Or you can go to settings, toggle the top block airplane mode to turn it on.
The drawback of this method is that you can not access the internet and wifi when airplane
mode is turn on, and once you turn it off, your location will be exposed again.
To stop sharing your location to other members, you can go to settings, scroll down the list
and find privacy, tap on it.
On the privacy settings, find a block says location services, tap to open the settings.
Now on the locations services, tap on share my location.
Here you can turn the share my location feature off.
Please be noted that no one will be notified when you turn off location services, but some
features may not work as expected without access to your location, such as using maps.
You should know that iOS keeps tabs on your location and stores them.
You can turn it off to hide location on iPhone through the system services.
Go to settings and click on privacy.
Find the location services option and then navigate to system services.
You will see a list of options that you can use to customize your location sharing and
ensure that your exact preferences are saved.
If you want to completely cut off the access to your location, go to significant locations
and click on it to toggle it off.
You can also choose clear history to remove the locations that are already logged in.
Find My app is built for a purpose to share location among your family member or people’s
iOS device at your reach.
With the feature, it allows one to trace the phone whenever it’s lost.
If you wish to stop sharing your location with the members on find my app, you can open
the application.
At the bottom corner, you can see the Me icon, tap on it.
Then toggle the share my location tab back to switch it off.
Also, you have an option to switch back share my location access in individual members.
Tap on the people tab and select a member from the lists.
Then you can tap to stop sharing my location.
Please be noted that if you stop sharing your location in find my, the person will not receive
a notification, but they will not be able to see you on their list of friends.
If you re-enable sharing, they get a notification that you have started sharing
your location with them.
If you
have an iPad that is at home or at work, you can share it from that location.
When someone checks, they will see the location of your second device, not the place where
you actually are.
To share your location from another device, you can open settings on the other device,
tap on your name at the top.
Then tap on find my.
Here tap on use this iPhone as my location.
When you are done, switch back to your iPhone.
Using this method, there is no alert that you have changed and there is no gap in your
location history.
But please be noted that this will not hide your devices’ location from those who are
family sharing members.
If they go to find my app while you are trying to hide from them by leaving one device at
home, they will be able to see exactly where all of your devices are.
If you want to hide your iPhone’s location from family sharing members, you will need
to disable location services and turn off share my location on find my on your iPhone.
You can hide your location from anyone by turning off precise location in the find my
app.
It means that others will be able to see which city you are in, but not the specific address.
Open settings, select privacy, then go to location services, and tap on find my.
Here you can turn off precise location.
This method of hiding your location won’t do you any good if you are trying to hide
a trip out of town, but if you want to hide the fact that you have left home to go to
a friend’s house in the same city.
The point of this method to hide location on iPhone is to set a virtual location, making
iPhone believes that you are really there.
This means that you won’t have to limit access or turn off location for any apps.
