Restrict disabling location services?

Is there a way to restrict the disabling of location services but still allow the adding of apps to the location-enabled list? The reason I ask is that I manage our whole family's iOS devices and would like to allow family members to let apps use their location, but I do not want to allow the disabling of location services in case an iPhone or iPad is stolen and I would like to track it down using the Find My iPhone app.
Similarily, I would like to allow family members to add and remove their accounts from the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" preference pain, but I would like to restrict the removal of the iCloud account that enables the Find My iPhone feature
Is this granular control possible? If not by using the phone's "Settings" app what about with the Mac's iPhone Configuration Utility? Could I create a configuration profile that has this kind of granular control?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide.

  • I disabled Location Services and now I want to enable.

    I disabled Location Services but now I wish to enable it. Both Location Services and Find My Phone app cannot be highlighted. How can I restore Location Services once it has been turned off? Thanks!

    Hello john r.from ma,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS 7: Understanding Location Services
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5594
    Turning Location Services on or off
    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 turn it off if you don't want to use this feature or to conserve battery life. You can individually control which apps and system services have access to Location Services data.
    Settings > Privacy > Location Services
    Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services
    By enabling Location Services, location-based system services such as these will also be enabled:
    Popular Near Me: Your iPhone will periodically send locations of where you have purchased or used Apps in an anonymous and encrypted form to Apple to improve a crowd-sourced database that may be used to offer geographically-relevant Apps.
    Frequent Locations: Your iPhone will keep track of places you have recently been, as well as how often and when you visited them, in order to learn places that are significant to you. This data is kept solely on your device and won't be sent to Apple without your consent. It will be used to provide you with personalized services, such as predictive traffic routing.
    Location-Based iAds: Your iPhone will send your location to Apple in order to provide you with geographically relevant iAds.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • If I have both my iPhone and my iPad set up on the Find iPhone App, and I disable location services on my iPhone, will I still be able to track my iPad on this app?

    If I have both my iPhone and my iPad set up on the "Find iPhone" app, and I disable location services on my iPhone, will I still be able to track my iPad from my iPhone by using this app?

    iWork is universal, so it will work full-res on the iPad. This is true for any app which has the plus sign symbol (in the App Store in iTunes it will say "This app is designed for iPhone and iPad".

  • HT5467 Disabled location services settings?!?

    All the toggles in my settings panel in Settings > Privacy > Location Services are disabled. How do I re-enable them?

    Settings/general/restrictions then privacy.... turn on the ones you want then go back to settings/privacy and turn them on

  • 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

  • Disable Location Services - iOS, Intune MDM

    Hi
    I'm trying to find a way to prevent users from being able to change their location services options.
    I know there's an option to do it on an iOS device manually with a restriction \ parental control on the "Location Services" area with a passcode.
    my goal is to do the same from the MDM.
    I have Apple Configurator up and running and I have an Intune account,  but I couldn't find any way to do it from any of them :/
    I even tried to deploy a profile with the Apple Configurator but there's no option for "location services". I guess it's because users need to first define their Location once and only then apply the restriction. I don't mind deploying all the
    devices the location, as they're all from the same country
    any original idea would be great!
    Tamir Levy

    I know this is old but I’m trying to clean up old posts. Did you ever solve this? If so it would be good if you could post the solution to assist others. If not, at this stage,
    as nobody has answered, I would recommend that you call Intune support.
    You will find your local Intune support number here

  • HT4995 I disabled location services at setup.  How do I now get it enabled?  The option to turn on is greyed  out.

    I upgraded to iOS 5 and mistakenly opted not to activate location services.  It is now greyed out.  How do I now enable location services?

    i tried allowing changes to both the account and location services in the restrictions area and I still cannot get the location services to enable.  Any other suggestions?  I'm so frustrated!

  • I have lost my iPhone4 but my location service is not active

    Did you have a passcode lock on it?  Or did you have restrictions enabled?  If not, it is very possible someone has found it, simple disabled location services in settings, and is using it.  If you did not secure it, anyone with it can do anything they want with it as it is when found.

  • IOS 8 Location Services

    In iOS7  a user could set location services to standby/disable when the app was minimized.  Apple has taken this feature away for most applications.  Now you only get two choices ("Always" or "Never").  When set to always, an application like Waze or Trapster and many more will use your position EVEN WHEN THE APPLICATION HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE tray.  When set to NEVER you have to go in and manually turn it back on to use the applications' location services, then off again when done.   Not only is this an personal invasion of privacy, it causes the excessive battery drain.
    Question: Am I missing a setting that will allow me to disable location services when the app is not in use in iOS8?
    Please join me in spreading the word and in making sure apple knows they need to re-enable the ability to disable location services in iOS8 when the App is not being used.

    Try this.  I had a different problem but it might help:
    settings --> privacy --> location services
    scroll the the very bottom and click on System Services
    now try disabling/enabling the services in here.

  • Without this feature location service is useless

    There is one location feature that Apple needs to program in the location app and in the mobile me website.
    The feature I refer to is to show you the last location of your devices even if some one turns off location option in the iphone or ipad.
    With this great feature you could find your devices more easily because you could see the last location recorded by your device.
    I think about this feature because unfortunately the iphone 4 of my wife was pickpocket, the iphone was on airplane mode because we were outside our country and she only uses it for taking photos and playing games.
    After we detected that a pickpocket take the iphone I try to locate it using my iphone 4 app, also I sent multiple messages thinking that maybe the thief would turn wifi on.
    After one week I got 2 messages from mobile me, the first one was the following:
    Dear MobileMe member,
    iPhoneM was located on July 25, 2011 at 12:54 AM.
    You can view this device’s location for the next 24 hours with the Find My iPhone app or atme.com/find
    The other message I got from mobile me says that the iphoneM has received the message I sent.
    Unfortunately I have found that if you disable location services in your iphone or ipad the location feature does not work, your device disappears from your devices list instantly. It could be great that you could see your device after it was turn off the location.
    If you think about this you are the only that could program the location on the first time and because of this you are the owner of the device.
    Another security feature could be that if you want to turn of the location option in the iphone or the ipad you need to type another time the password of the mobile me account, or type your itunes account password to disable this feature in the ipad app.
    I hope that Apples think more about this and in the future we could see the last location of your devices any time. If Apple has think about this great feature now I could see where is the iphone 4 that is lost.

    Lawrence please read my post to understand it.
    I send a message to locate my iphone, and after one week I received a mail saying that my message was delivered and that my iphone was located, when I go to mobile me to see where the iphone was, I can't view the iphone in my devices list.
    Because of this it is important that Apple shows you the last location of your iphone this way you could find or recover a stolen iphone more easily.
    About police, NSA, etc, etc, they already have the technology to view where you are at any time, also do you know that even if you turn off your mobile phone it is still sending signals? Have you seen any movie where everybody removes the battery of their phones so that no one can see their location or remotely turn on their phone to listen to their conversations? In phones like the iphone it is not possible to remove the battery this is why I bet that it keep sending signals all the time.
    Building more features to locate your iphone will only make it better for you because anyone with the right techonology can already view your location right now.

  • Location services and battery life

    I see this from the Apple site regarding reducing power consumption:
    "Minimize use of location services: Applications that actively use location services such as Maps may reduce battery life. To disable location services, go to Settings > General > Location Services or use location services only when needed."
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html
    I can read this advice two ways:
    1. Turn off Location Services in the Settings when not using Location Services. As long as Location Services is turned on in Settings, you are using more of the battery.
    or
    2. I can leave Location Services on in the Settings without reducing battery life. It is only when I use an application that uses Location Services that battery life is reduced.
    Which is it?

    Either one. When you see the white/purple arrow on the top, an application you are using has enabled Location Services for itself. While the app is running in either the foreground or background, LS continues to run until the app is either closed or has been force closed through the multitask bar.
    LS only uses battery life when it either picks the GPS or the cellular towers to continuously ping your location. But the LS doesn't use as much power as believed. It's actually a combination of things such as GPS and Internet and Music or GPS, Internet and Camera.
    Most people keep the LS running as it does little harm to battery life. Some turn it off or turn off certain apps to protect their privacy as they are broadcasting on a social network their approximate location such as LOOPT to friends that you are in a restaurant.

  • Location Services on a MacBook Pro

    Hi.
    I just noticed that OS X includes a setting that allows one to enable/disable location services in the security preference panel.
    I skimmed through the documentation for the CLLocationManager class. It makes specific note of the differences between implementation on iPhone OS and Mac OS X, but it is void of any information about which OS X-based devices support location services. It's plainly evident the usefulness and underpinning of this feature on an iPhone with GPS, but on any other hardware it's not clear to me how location services acquires coordinates.
    Can anyone tell me if Location Services actually does anything on a MacBook or MacBook Pro? If it does, what does it use to determine geographic location?
    Thanks much.

    Yes - it does work - it uses the visible WiFi networks to determine your location (same as you get on an iPod Touch which doesn't have a GPS chip).
    You can see it in action by checking the "Set time zone automatically using current location" in the TimeZone pane of the Date & Time System Preferences.

  • Does "Location Services" always drain the battery when enabled?

    Hi,
    I've read lots of things that say if you want to save battery power, disabled "Location Services".
    I find it annoying that on the odd occasion that I want to use Location Services, say, to find an ATM near where I am, I have to go into settings and enable it, and then go back into the app I tried to use, and go and enter my search again, etc.
    Now, I understand that if my phone is actually trying to find my location, that is should use some power.
    But my question is... If I have Location Services switched on, and I am not actually using any app that is trying to find my location, does my phone actually use any more power than if Location Services is disabled?

    Tamara wrote:
    It does not use extra power to have Location Services enabled if you're not using the app.
    I leave Location Services on all the time and I have decent battery life.
    I agree that having location services on doesn't use battery unless an app is using it. Now none of us can say for sure about that since we don't know the software/hardware and how they talk/work and as the other poster said, powers the GPS chip. Just because the service is on, for all we know the OS only powers on the chip then "when needed"
    From looking at the "Optimize Your Settings" from http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html They say:
    Minimize use of location services: Applications that actively use location services such as Maps may reduce battery life. To disable location services, go to Settings > General > Location Services or use location services only when needed.
    While for WiFi/Bluetooth, etc they say turn off, not just minimize use of "applications" that use it. That is because WiFi and Bluetooth have to actively beacon/probe while the GPS only has to do something when requested.
    Just my two cents though.

  • Location services seems to be tracking my stolen phone.

    My "frequent location" service shows that I checked at South Kitsap Mall in Seattle suburbs on Tuesday.  I live in Chicago now, so obviously this is impossible!  My old 3G was stolen during a vehicle break in in Lynwood, WA In 2010.  I also have an extra option for a phone that I don't own in location services.  "Find My Friends" has this extra phone selected for my location, but I can't see my own location on it.  I'm waiting for a response from my wife to see if she sees me here or in Seattle.  I would like to lock that phone with the "Find my iPhone" app if possible! I wonder if that phone is jailbroken and in use, but ios8 is tracking the IMEI number?  Can I lock it from my account still?

    Double check your restrictions for location service.
