How to
Turn GPS on or off
Your mobile phone can determine your geographical position using GPS (Global Positioning System). The information about your location can be used by a number of applications on your mobile phone such as navigation, the search function or weather forecast.


Tap Settings.


Tap Security & privacy.


Tap Location services.


Tap Access to my location to turn the function on or off.


If you select Use GPS, Wi-Fi and mobile networks, your mobile phone can find your exact position using GPS satellites, the mobile network and nearby Wi-Fi networks. Satellite-based GPS requires a clear view of the sky.


If you select Use Wi-Fi and mobile networks, your mobile phone can find your approximate position using the mobile network and nearby Wi-Fi networks.


If you select Use GPS only, your mobile phone can find your exact position but it may take longer as there is no access to supplementary information from nearby mobile or Wi-Fi networks.
