How to enable location services on iPhone iOS 6.x

Here are step-by-step instructions on how to enable Location Services on the iPhone 6.x. Location services is required for geo tagging photos on Facebook.

My previous solution to the issue of not being able to upload photos to Facebook from the iPhone has stopped working for some people. This is mainly because of differences in the iPhone operating system (iOS) that we use. For example, in newer iOS versions, the location of Location Services has changed.

The new location of Location Services is one issue in particular that many people have to deal with. If you’re looking for instructions on how to enable Location Services on iOS 6 and later, you have come to the right page.

To enable location services on iPhone running on iOS 6 (or later), follow these steps. I’ve included screen shots (click them to enlarge) below so you’ll know what the screens look like on your iPhone.

  1. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
  2. Verify that Location Services is ON.
  3. Scroll down to the apps that use Location Services, and then verify that Location Services for both Camera and Facebook are ON.

That’s it! You have enabled Location Services on iPhone 6 (or later).

If you’re still having problems, please leave a message in the comments section below and I’ll try to help you with your issue.

    Hey! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog.
    Is it very difficult to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things
    out pretty quick. I’m thinking about creating
    my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you
    have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks

    FB is not listed on my Location Service, how do I add it on? my settings are set to “ON” for FB under Setting, Photo and Camera is on, I even deleted the FB app and then went into the App Store and downloaded the FB app again. Nothing is working, so I’m trying the location suggestion.

    Howdy – I too cannot get my photos to post to FB. I tried both fixes above (and like a previous poster, I have no FB under Privacy & Location Services). Sooo frustrating. I have an Iphone 5….purchased 2 weeks ago today, so the operating system is the very latest….IOS 6.1
