Location on your iPhone helps you in various ways, like letting others know where you are. In addition, you can also find where you lost your iPhone. But you don’t want to worry about privacy. Because you can control which apps can use the location and disable the location for a particular app. If the location service is disabled on your iPhone, the apps cannot track your GPS location.
