Personal Safety User Guide - January 2022
Control how someone else can see your location
Use this checklist to limit who can see your location or to stop sharing your location
entirely.
1. If you aren’t running the latest version of iOS, iPadOS, or macOS and are concerned
someone may have had physical access to your device, You can restore the device
to factory settings. A factory restore erases all the information and settings on your
device. This includes removing any apps that were installed without your knowledge
and resetting your privacy settings so you aren’t sharing location with any people or
apps. It also installs the latest version of the operating system. To restore it to factory
settings, see How to Erase all Content and Settings
2. To stop sharing your location with all apps and services, for even a short period of time,
go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services and turn off location sharing. This stops
all apps on your device, such as Maps, from using your location. No one is notified if
you turn off Location Services, but some features may not work as expected without
access to your location.
Note: You can also temporarily turn off Find My iPhone In The same tab if you’re
concerned someone may have access to your iCloud account. In The list of apps using
location access, tap Find My, then select Never.
3. You can share your location with just certain apps. Go to Settings > Privacy > Location
Services, then choose the apps you want to have use Location Services, from the list
near the bottom of the screen.
4. Stop sharing your location with a particular person. In The Find My app , tap the
People tab, select a person, then tap Stop Sharing My Location at the bottom of the
screen.
If you started—and later stopped—sharing your location in Find My, the person isn’t
notified and can’t see you on their list of friends. If you reenable sharing, they get a
notification that you’ve started sharing your location with them.
5. See whether any third-party apps are sharing your location with others. With Location
Services turned on, review the list of apps you’ve installed on your device to see if any
of them are sharing your location. Then select one and follow the relevant instructions
to stop sharing.
6. You can track the location of your accessories to make sure that only the devices you
configured for personal use are paired with your device.
Track using AirTags: Use AirTags to connect accessories to the Find My network and
track their location. See the Apple Support article Use the Find My app to locate a
missing device or item (https://support.apple.com/HT210515).
Find out if an unpaired device is moving with you: In Find My, tap Devices at the
bottom of the screen. If you use an Android device, download the Tracker Detect
app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apple.trackerdetect) from
the Google Play Store to help identify hidden AirTags or other accessories on the
Find My network.
