Are location services for the camera off by default in iOS 5?

A friend just bought an iPhone 4S and when he opened his Camera Roll after shooting a bunch of photos, Places did not show up. I asked him to check Settings and location services were turned OFF for his camera, but were ON for all other applications that use location services.
I found that location services for my camera were set to OFF today as well.
Is this the default for iOS 5? Or has it been the default for iOS from day one?
If so, why? You would think that the camera would be the one built-in feature you would want to use location services.

Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services>Traffic>On...turn on/off here.
There is no supported way to downgrade the iOS.

  • Even with restrictions on location services for icloud turn off

    I have been on the forums a b-jillion times looking up this same question. Our phones (hubs and I 4 and 4s) continually turn off the "find my iphone" bit in location services. I have locked it in restrictions after turning it on-passcode locked it. I have tried everything multiple times and yet it still happens on both of our phones, though his more than mine! Now my phone is gone and I put an erase order in almost immediately as it was taken out of my car. It says it will happen the next time it is connected to the internet. I check icloud often...nothing. Then, fifteen days later someone is using my facebook acct! It still doesn't show up on icloud as ever erasing or connecting to the internet!! What the.....?   

    Hi there I was having the same issues myself an I know it can be a pain because its a real battery drainer. The tip I have that worked for me is I went to location services and one by one I turned off each individual apps location service until the arrow went off so I was able to quickly find the app that was causing the issues (allow about 5 or so seconds between each app after you turn if off) after you find the bad app you can go into that apps settings to try to fix it. Or for me the app never stopped searching my location even with the app fully closed. ( so I deleted the app ) I hope this tip helps out

  • How do you turn on location services for the Photos app?

    I reset my location services and I need to reactivate the location services for those apps I want to use this function.  I have turned on location services for all other apps, including CAMERA, but I cannot figure out how to turn it back on for PHOTOS (Camera Roll).  This option did appear when I did the new iPhone5 setup, but I cannot get it back.  And PHOTOS is not listed in the apps shown under the Location Services setting page.  I set my wife's phone up too and the PHOTOS app is showing on her phones Location Services setting page.  Help please.

    Hi There
    I had the same problem and actually I found out that in Location Services you need to Turn On the option for CAMERA, as there is no photos icon.
    Cheers

  • Workaround to show pins when location services for camera was off.

    The general location services were on but for the camera it was off. After I captured the pictures I do not see any pins in the places where I took the pictures. Is there a way how I can get the pins in the places?

    If your camera location service is off then there is no way.
    You need to switch location service on for your Camera app to have meta data included.

  • HT5467 iPhone iOS 6. What is the difference between, respective purposes, and functions of having both location services for photos vs camera

    What is the difference and respective functions of turning on or off location services for "photos" and "camera" ?  I guess I don't see what purpose of having the option for photos location services in addition to the camera option?

    Thanks,
    one hypo:
    If I always had location services off for the camera, while taking all my photos, then there should be no metadata embedded at all in the first place, so then the photos selection becomes redundant?

    I can't find a list of all of my apps in location services. It doesn't list all of the apps like fios tv remote that I want to use location services for. I mean it doesn't list any of the apps that aren't the factory presets. How can I turn on location services for these apps?

    How do I turn off location services on the iPhone 6?
    Yes I already went to Settings > Privacy > Location Services, is not allowing me to turn it off.
    And yes I have disable the restrictions too.

    When I tapped the screen, there was a symbol on the left that looked like arrows going in a circle and on the right were the arrows crossed. The crossed arrows were orange, when I tapped this orange symbol, it turned to white and the songs STOPPED shuffle.

  • Add location services in the control center

    To save power I go into Settings and turn on/off the all the Location Services.  Is there any plans to add location services in the control center for quicker access?  Or is there something already in place?

    There is nothing in place. How is turning off location services saving you power? It doesn't use any unless you are using it. However, if you feel strong about it, you can make a suggestion to Apple feedback HERE and click on the appropriate link.

  • Anyone else having issues with location services since the 7.1 update? Ever since I updated i've been seeing the location services on my status bar at all times.

    Anyone else having issues with location services since the 7.1 update? Ever since I updated i’ve been seeing the location services icon on my status bar at all times. I noticed that google was the app that was using it a lot, but after I turned the feature off for google my phone started using the “traffic”, “frequent locations” and “cell network search”. When I turn the feature off for all of those things it’s no longer a problem. So just wondering if anyone else is having this issue or if anyone has a solution?

    The "solution" is probably to increase your knowledge.  You've done good things.  Perhaps this article will educate you a bit more about location services.
    Basically, they can be very useful, but can cause a lot of iPhone use.  A major example is "Remind me to ... when I leave home."
