Location Services
Location Services lets apps such as Reminders, Maps, Camera, and third-party location-based apps
gather and use data showing your location. The location data collected by Apple isn’t collected
in a form that personally identies you. Your approximate location is determined using local Wi-Fi
networks (if you have Wi-Fi turned on). To conserve battery life, turn Location Services o when
you’re not using it.
When an app is using Location Services, appears in the status bar.
Every app and system service that uses Location Services appears in the Location Services settings
screen, showing whether Location Services is turned on or o for that app or service. You can turn
Location Services o for some or for all apps and services, if you don’t want to use this feature. If
you turn Location Services o, you’re prompted to turn it on again the next time an app or service
tries to use it.
If you have third-party apps on iPod touch that use Location Services, review the third party’s
terms and privacy policy for each app to understand how it uses your location data.
Turn Location Services on or o: Go to Settings > Location Services.
