To get more useful information from sites, you can allow the sites to use your location.
Let a site know your location
By default, Chrome asks you when a site wants to use your location. To let the site know where you are, select Allow. Before you allow a site to use your location, check the site's privacy policy.
If you use Google as your default search engine on your phone, your location is used by default for your searches on Google.
Change your default location settings
- On your iPhone or iPad, open Settings.

Location.Change Google's access to your location
When Google is your default search engine, your location is used for your searches in the address bar and on Google.
To stop using your location in searches, turn off Chrome's access to your location:
- On your iPhone or iPad, open Settings.
- Scroll to find “Chrome.”
- Tap Chrome
How Chrome uses your location
If you allow sites in Chrome to use your location, Chrome sends information to Google Location Services to get an estimate of where you are. Chrome can then share that info with the site that wants your location.
