How to Stop iPhone Location Tracking From the iPad

Did you know? Tracking is a big concern these days, especially regarding location tracking.

Most of us know that many apps use our location data to provide precise data about local weather, stores, and movie showtimes.

While 44% of free iOS apps collect user data, 72.6% track personal user information.  

Whether you're an iPhone user or an iPad user (or both!), understanding how location data is shared between devices can be tricky. 

This blog will show how to turn off location tracking, specifically between iPhones or iPads.

3 Main Reasons to Disable Location Tracking?

There are a few reasons why you should turn off location tracking on your devices:

1. Privacy

Location tracking allows apps and services to know where you are. This may be a privacy concern for you, particularly those who want to keep their location private from each app they use.

2. Battery Life

Location services might drain battery power. Disabling them for programs you do not use frequently will help you save battery power.

3. Unnecessary Data Collection

Some apps might not need your location to function effectively. Disabling location tracking in these apps can help reduce the information they collect about you.
