How to stop your iPhone from tracking your location.
about how lots of companies are able to track your location data and even identify people when that information is supposed to be anonymous., and lets you know which apps are tracking your location and when. But your iPhone is still tracking everywhere you go, often by default.
Your iPhone uses your location for HomeKit to identify if you're away or near home -- one way it can automatically turn on your lights when you get home or turn them off when you leave, for example. There's also a setting to set the time zone automatically based on your location, or to make sure it's searching for the right cellular networks. Another setting can be turned on to share your location with other people, like in the "Find My" app.
More importantly, there's an entire section called "Significant Locations" where Apple stores the places you go frequently — like work, home, or anywhere you've traveled. Apple uses this information for some legitimate purposes, too, like improving "Photo memories" so it can send you recaps of pictures you've taken in certain places. It can also improve your results in Maps, Calendar and other apps.
The hollow purple arrow means that Apple might receive your location "under certain conditions." So, for HomeKit, which has that arrow on my phone, it would only access my location if I'm using HomeKit to control my smart home based on my location and if the app needs to know when I'm home or not. The regular purple arrow shows that a system service has recently used your location, and the gray arrow show that it has logged your location in the last 24 hours.
