Manage your Android device’s location settings

You can use location-based services such as local search results, commute predictions, and nearby restaurants based on your device's location, when device location is on in settings.

• These steps also work on Fitbit Ace LTE.
• If you have a tablet or device that more than one person uses, each person can have different location access settings.

Important: When the location setting is off for your device, apps and services can't get your device's location. You can still get local results and ads based on your IP address.

Important: Not all devices have wireless signals, GPS, or device sensor data. Location Accuracy uses available signals to estimate location.

To improve device location, Android devices with Google Play services have a Location Accuracy service that uses information from wireless signals, such as Wi-Fi access points, cellular network towers, and GPS, along with device sensor data, such as accelerometer and gyroscope, to allow your device to more quickly and accurately estimate device location, particularly in areas where GPS may be unavailable or obscured, such as indoors or near large buildings. Learn more about Google Play services.

When Location Accuracy is on, Google periodically collects information about sensors and wireless signals near you to contribute to crowdsourced wireless signal locations, using randomly-assigned, temporary, rotating identifiers that aren't associated with a specific person or account. These identifiers automatically and regularly change. These measures prevent you from being identified from the collected data. Learn more about processing of Location Accuracy data.

Tip: The Location Accuracy service is also available on Fitbit Ace LTE.

When Location Accuracy is on, your device uses these sources to get the most accurate location, which may include elevation or floor level:

• Wireless signals, if available, such as:
  • GPS
  • Wi-Fi
  • Mobile cellular networks
• Sensors, if available, such as:
  • Accelerometer
  • Barometer
  • Gyroscope

This can be especially important if you’re using your device indoors or when GPS satellites are obscured, because in those situations devices need to use additional signals to be able to estimate their location. Apps and services with the appropriate permissions can use this location to provide you with location-based features.

When your device’s Location Accuracy is off:

• When available, only GPS and device sensors, such as accelerometer, barometer, and gyroscope, will be used to determine your device’s location, which may impact the availability and accuracy of locations for apps and services such as Google Maps and finding a lost device.
• Wireless signals and sensor data are not collected by the Location Accuracy service. However, emergency location services or your mobile carrier can still automatically send your device’s location enhanced by Location Accuracy to emergency responders when you call or text an emergency number.

No location or Location Accuracy data is collected by Google in such a scenario.

Important:

• For Android 12 and higher, you can separately manage each app’s precise location permission. This is different from Location Accuracy, which is a location setting for your device that allows the use of more sources for the most accurate location. When Location Accuracy is on, you can grant an app only approximate location permission if you don't want to allow it access to your device’s precise location. If you turn off Location Accuracy, apps may not be able to get your device’s precise location. Learn how to choose which apps use your Android device’s location.
• Some devices, like Wi-Fi-only tablets, do not have GPS or emergency location services available.

To change location settings: 

1. Open your device's Settings app.
2. Tap Security and Location  Location.
   • If you have a work profile, tap Advanced.

Then, choose an option:

1. Open your device's Settings app.
2. Tap Security and Location Location.
   • If you don't find "Security and Location," tap Location.
3. Tap Mode.
4. Select a mode:
   • High accuracy: Use GPS, Wi-Fi, mobile networks, and sensors to get the most accurate location. Use Google Location Services to help estimate your device's location faster and more accurately.
   • Battery saving: Use sources that use less battery, like Wi-Fi and mobile networks. Use Google Location Services to help estimate your device's location faster and more accurately.
   • Device only: Use GPS and sensors. Don’t use Google Location Services to improve location accuracy. This can estimate your device's location more slowly and use more battery.

You can control what location information your device can use.

1. Open your device's Settings app.
2. Under "Personal," tap Location access.
3. At the top of the screen, turn Access to my location on or off.
   • When location access is on, pick either or both of:
     • GPS satellites: Lets your device estimate its location from satellite signals, like a GPS device.
     • Wi-Fi and mobile network location: Lets your device use Google Location Services to help estimate its location faster, with or without GPS.
   • When location access is off:
     Your device can’t find its precise location or share it with any apps.
