Here’s how:
- ■Get to the Privacy window
Tap Settings > Privacy. This takes you to the Privacy window that lets you manage all your privacy settings.
■Get to the Location Services window
Tap Location Services. This opens the Location Services window. If Location Services is enabled in your iDevice, and you’ve allowed the apps to access your location while using them for the first time, they should be present in this window.
■Choose when an app can access Location Services
Tap an app you want to manage (Weather in this example), and tap either Always, While Using the App, or Never as needed.
■Repeat the process for the other apps as well.
Note: Depending on their behavior, apps may only have the While Using the App and Never options to choose from.
