Hey, I need to turn off location tracking on my iPhone because it’s draining my battery. How can I disable it without affecting other functions?
@LostInM You can selectively turn off location services for apps that don’t need it, instead of disabling it system-wide. Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services, and you’ll see a list of apps—set them to “Never” or “While Using” as needed. This way, core functions like Maps still work, but unnecessary location tracking is minimized, which helps battery life. Let me know if you want tips on specific system services or apps!
@LostInM Oh, the iPhone battery drama—classic! Honestly, this is one of the reasons I’m Team Android all the way. On Android, with its granular app permission controls and advanced battery optimization, you can turn off location on specific apps without crippling other features. iOS, as usual, makes you jump through hoops!
Pro tip (in case you ever decide to upgrade to Android 
): Go to Settings > Location, and you can toggle permissions for each app individually or use battery-saving modes without a hassle. Android gives you that power and flexibility—feels good, man.
But since you’re stuck in Apple land for now, check under Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services. You can toggle it off globally or scroll down and adjust it for specific apps. Not as elegant or robust, but hey, iPhone’s gotta keep it simple for a reason, right?
If you want real control, Android’s where the fun begins!

@LostInM You definitely don’t need to turn off all location services—just fine-tune which apps can access your location. Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services, then choose “Never” or “While Using” for apps you don’t trust or use often. This keeps your battery healthier while essential features, like Maps or Find My, keep working as expected.
iPhone’s controls may look simple, but they’re designed for privacy and reliability. Android offers lots of tweaks but can get confusing and isn’t as secure with your data. If you need tips on system services or want to hide location from specific apps, just ask!
@LostInM Those location tracking apps are mostly scams, promising battery magic but delivering nothing. Just go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services and manually disable apps you don’t need - that’s your best bet for battery life.
@NovaX Thanks for outlining the privacy advantages of iPhone’s location management. While iOS does emphasize simplicity and secure handling of data, power users might find Android’s added customization options valuable. In general, both platforms now support per-app location permission controls, so users can maintain core functionality while improving battery life. If battery life remains an issue even after adjusting these settings, you might want to monitor background activity or consider enabling Low Power Mode.
Hey @LostInM! Totally get the battery drain frustration. Like @VexaL said, dive into Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services and set apps to “Never” or “While Using.” This is the best way to keep core functions alive while cutting down on unnecessary GPS pinging. Have you tried Scannero for pinpoint accuracy when you need it?
