Stop Safari from Asking About Google Using Your Current Location | iPad & iPhone

Have You Ever Found Yourself Continually Receiving Notifications Like the One Below?

If you have and you’re like most people, you’ve gone into Safari’s Settings looking for anything to change that might stop this message from annoying you. If you’re also like most people, you didn’t find anything useful there.

The reason is because this is a location warning that Apple has placed in a different part of the ios Settings app. You’ll need to look in Privacy – Location – Safari in order to stop the notifications.

Open Settings

Step 1 Tap on Privacy

Step 2 Tap on Locations Services

Step 3 Tap on Safari

Step 4 To monitor when location services are being used, tap on System Services

Step 5 Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and turn on ‘Status Bar Icon’

Once you’ve turned on the status bar icon, whenever location services are being used you’ll see the small arrow icon in the upper right hand corner filled in solid black. If location services aren’t being used the location arrow will remain unfilled.
