How to See If Someone Checked Your Location On iPhone
As technology advances, our devices are becoming increasingly equipped with advanced tracking features that can give us a sense of security but also raise privacy concerns. In this era of smart gadgets, it is essentail for users to be aware of their online presence and track who’s watching them. In today’s digital age, people often wonder how others find out about their location using Apple devices like iPhones.
What are Location Services on an iPhone?
Location services (CLS) on an iPhone refer to the ability to share your real-time location with friends, family members, or even businesses that provide a service related to geolocation. This feature can be toggled off and on in settings by enabling/disabling Location-Based Services under Settings > Privacy.
How Does CLS Work?
CLS relies heavily upon information from multiple data sources: GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites for precise location identification, IP addresses (Internet Protocol), cell towers’ proximity to your device, as well as nearby Wi-Fi networks. When an iPhone receives this data and the desired permission from its owner/ operator is given; it can provide exact coordinates in real-time.
Tracking CLS Permissions:
To find out if someone checked your location using their iPhone, follow these steps:
- Enable Location History: First off, go to Settings > Privacy & Security.

Find Out If Someone Has Tracked You On Their Phone:
Now that we possess the necessary tools in hand, let us move onto checking whether another person tracked you using their phone or device.
If someone is monitoring your location without your knowledge or consent, they are doing it by accessing shared information within apps which request access to a user’s CLS permission. Apps like Maps may automatically update users with real-time coordinates (CLL) if set so in privacy settings and there should not be an immediate cause for worry because such changes usually indicate no malicious intent from the other person, but rather that he wants.
