Also, location can be inaccurate as a result of bugs that come with an iOS update in 3rd-party apps. It also happens when you are yet to update the app.
Even if iOS 13 users will have their applications automatically updated, if you run a more ancient iOS, you might have to head to the App Store and alter your settings to automatically update apps, or manually update the ones with location problems.
4. Poor cellular or Wi-Fi signal
Your location gets estimated from sources such as GPS satellites, the nearest Wi-Fi networks, and closeby cell towers. If your signal is not strong, it is possible that you won’t have the correct location. However, you can try and alter your cellular data settings to locate a better connection. Just:
- Head to Settings.
- Open “Cellular.”
- Click “Cellular Data Options.”
