Learn how privacy settings and Location Services help protect your personal information on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
Privacy settings in iOS and iPadOS help give you control over which apps have access to information stored on your device. For example, you can allow a social-networking app to use your camera, so you can take and upload pictures to that app. You can also grant access to your contacts, so a messaging app can find any friends that are already using the same app.
In Settings > Privacy, you can see which apps you have allowed to access certain information, as well as grant or revoke any future access. This includes access to:
On your device, you can select a type of data from this list to see which apps have asked for permission to use that data. An app won't appear on the list until it asks permission to use your data. You can add or remove permission from any app that has asked for access to data. An app can use the data type in the setting only if you have given the app permission.
If you sign in to iCloud, apps are granted access by default to iCloud Drive. You can view and manage apps that are allowed to use iCloud under iCloud in Settings as well.
If you allow third-party apps or websites to use your data or your current location, you're subject to their terms, privacy policies, and practices. You should review the terms, privacy policies, and practices of the apps and websites to understand how they use your location and other information. Information that Apple collects will be treated in accordance with Apple's Privacy Policy.
With your permission, Location Services allows apps and websites (including Maps, Camera, Weather, and other apps) to use information from cellular1, Wi-Fi2, Global Positioning System (GPS)3 networks, and Bluetooth4 to determine your approximate location5.
Apps that can show your location on the screen, including Maps, show your current (approximate) location using a blue marker. In Maps, if your location can’t be determined precisely, you’ll see a blue circle around the marker. The size of the circle shows how precisely your location can be determined—the smaller the circle, the greater the precision. When Location Services is active, a black or white arrow icon appears in the status bar.
Maps, directions, and location-based apps depend on data services. These data services are subject to change and might not be available in all geographic areas, resulting in maps, directions, or location-based information that might be unavailable, inaccurate, or incomplete. Compare the information provided on the device to your surroundings and defer to posted signs to resolve any discrepancies.
The first time an app tries to access your location, it must ask for your permission. You see a prompt explaining which app is asking for permission to use your location as well as the app developer's reason for requesting it.
Some apps ask to use your location only while the app is in use. An app is considered "in use" when you’re actively using it in the foreground, or when it is using location in the background, in which case a blue pill will display in your status bar.
If you grant an app While In Use permission, the app may ask you for permission to use your location when it is in the background.
When you allow an app to use your location in the background, your device will remind you from time to time that an app is using your location, and will display those locations on a map. You'll also be asked if you want to continue to allow the app to use your location in the background.
With iOS 13 and iPadOS 13, you can tap Allow Once to let an app access Location Services data only for one session (One Time). If you close and then re-open the app and it tries to access your location again, it will ask for your permission again. Apps won't use your location until they have asked for your permission and you grant permission.
You can change your mind anytime and update your preferences from Settings < Privacy < Location Services.
You can turn Location Services on or off at Settings > Privacy > Location Services. You can turn Location Services on either during the Setup Assistant process or later through the Location Services setting. You can individually control which apps and system services have access to Location Services data. When Location Services are off, apps can't use your location in the foreground or background. This will limit the performance of various Apple and third-party apps.
If you would like to reset all of your location settings to the factory default, go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset Location & Privacy. When your location and privacy settings are reset, apps will stop using your location until you grant them permission.
Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services.
GPS accuracy depends on the number of visible GPS satellites. Locating all visible satellites can take several minutes, with accuracy gradually increasing over time. To improve GPS accuracy:
If Location Services is on, your device will periodically send the geo-tagged locations of nearby Wi-Fi hotspots and cell towers to Apple to augment Apple's crowd-sourced database of Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower locations. If you're traveling (for example, in a car) and Location Services is on, a GPS-enabled iOS device will also periodically send GPS locations, travel speed, and barometric pressure information to Apple to be used for building up Apple's crowd-sourced road-traffic and indoor pressure databases. The crowd-sourced location data gathered by Apple is stored with encryption and doesn’t personally identify you.
With iOS 13 and iPadOS 13, an app must ask permission to use Bluetooth functions except to play audio to a Bluetooth device, which doesn’t require permission. You can change your device's Bluetooth permissions from Settings > Privacy > Bluetooth.
For safety purposes, your iPhone’s location information may be used when you place an emergency call to aid response efforts regardless of whether you enable Location Services.

1. iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular models): Make sure that Cellular Data is on in Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data, even if you're not subscribed to a cellular data plan. This will allow your device to more accurately calibrate itself using network time and location information. In some instances, disabling a SIM PIN may be necessary.
2. iOS and iPadOS devices sold in China mainland and Germany may use the term Wireless LAN (WLAN) instead of Wi-Fi.
3. GPS is available on iPhone and iPad Wi-Fi + Cellular models.
4. Bluetooth interacts with iBeacons to provide a way to create and monitor areas that advertise certain identifying information.
5. iOS and iPadOS devices without a cellular connection use only Wi-Fi for Location Services (if a Wi-Fi network is available). Some third-party apps rely on a Wi-Fi connection for region monitoring. If a device is passcode locked, this feature may be limited or inaccurate.

How can I store the user's current location and also show the location on a map?
I am able to show pre-defined coordinates on a map, I just don't know how to receive information from the device.
Also I know I have to add some items into a Plist. How can I do that?

To get a user's current location you need to declare:
In viewDidLoad() you have to instantiate the CLLocationManager class, like so:
Then in CLLocationManagerDelegate method you can get user's current location coordinates:
In the info.plist you will have to add NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription and your custom alert message like; AppName(Demo App) would like to use your current location.

Don't forget about Import MapKit + CoreLocation + adding CLLocationManagerDelegate in the class definition. – Lukesivi Dec 7 '15 at 15:47
@Yusha If this looks like Objective-C to you, then you've never seen Objective-C (nor Swift) – Martin Marconcini Jun 17 '16 at 10:35
You forgot to mention the implementation of the CLLocationManagerDelegate protocol. – ssd352 Nov 7 '16 at 8:16
NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription has been renamed to Privacy - Location Always Usage Description – Saoud Rizwan Feb 16 '17 at 8:17
You MUST declare locationManager as a global variable instead of a local variable in viewDidLoad – chengsam Feb 20 '17 at 10:13

new function: func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) – user523234 Mar 18 '16 at 13:32
Step by step answer. But please update it. Its not working for now. – Dheeraj D Oct 13 '17 at 5:16
you must add following privacy permissions in plist file
getting current location and showing on Map in Swift 2.0
Make sure you have added CoreLocation and MapKit framework to your project (This doesn't required with XCode 7.2.1)

I run your code and I get a blank white screen. Is there a view or something I need to add to the storyboard? – ThisClark Sep 13 '16 at 15:31
Worked great for me in Swift 4, just had to add an underscore (prompted to by Xcode) so the locationManager line became: func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) – Elijah Lofgren Sep 15 '18 at 20:15
On viewDidLoad() write this pretty code:
Now set permission for access the location, so add these key value into your info.plist file
100% working without any issue. TESTED

i have another language then it's not working . i want english language only. – Maulik shah Jan 1 '19 at 9:00
NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription = Request permission to use location service when the apps is in background. in your plist file.
If this works then please vote the answer.

it would be nice to have the snippet of code using markup language rather than pasting a screenshot – Nicholas Allio Dec 7 '16 at 14:32
First import Corelocation and MapKit library:
inherit from CLLocationManagerDelegate to our class
create a locationManager variable, this will be your location data
create a function to get the location info, be specific this exact syntax works:
in your function create a constant for users current location
stop updating location, this prevents your device from constantly changing the Window to center your location while moving (you can omit this if you want it to function otherwise)
get users coordinate from userLocatin you just defined:
define how zoomed you want your map be:
let span = MKCoordinateSpanMake(0.2,0.2) combine this two to get region:
now set the region and choose if you want it to go there with animation or not
from your button or another way you want to set the locationManagerDeleget to self
to be able to authorize location service you need to add this two lines to your plist

If you don't want to show user location in map, but just want to store it in firebase or some where else then follow this steps,
Now use CLLocationManagerDelegate on your VC and you must override the last three methods shown below. You can see how the requestLocation() method will get you the current user location using these methods.
Now you can code the below call once user sign in to your app. When requestLocation() is invoked it will further invoke didUpdateLocations above and you can store the location to Firebase or anywhere else.
if you are using GeoFire then in the didUpdateLocations method above you can store the location as below
Last but not least, go to your Info.plist and enable "Privacy -Location when in Use Usage Description."
When you use simulator to test it always give you one custom location that you configured in Simulator -> Debug -> Location.

Hi, Where are the locations (longitude, latitude), How often is reload the locations ? – Cristian Mora Jan 28 '17 at 23:42
@CristianMora when the locationManager.requestLocation is invoked, this is invoked locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) where this is a Locations array and you can use one of them or show the user to pick the most appropriate. locations is of type CLLocation and you can get longitudd,latitude from this object.If you need the user information only once then you don't need reload locations otherwise you can call requestLocation() as needed. Example a search request, you call requestLocation() first and then based on location give answers. – Lyju I Edwinson Jan 29 '17 at 1:41
first add two frameworks in your project
2: Corelocation (no longer necessary as of XCode 7.2.1)
then in viewDidLoad method code this
do not forget to add these two value in plist file

Use in function of class by simple code:
Don't forget to add the "NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription" in the info.plist.
4,0463636 silver badges4848 bronze badges
Thanks! Don't forget to add the "NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription" in the info.plist – Jonas Deichelmann May 2 '20 at 14:34
Because the call to requestWhenInUseAuthorization is asynchronous, the app calls the locationManager function after the user has granted permission or rejected it. Therefore it is proper to place your location getting code inside that function given the user granted permission. This is the best tutorial on this I have found on it.

This is your view did load method and in the ViewController Class also include the mapStart updating method as follows
Also do not forget to add CoreLocation.FrameWork and MapKit.Framework in your project (no longer necessary as of XCode 7.2.1)
