Scroll down to the bottom of the Settings app and tap on the “Privacy” tab. This will take you to a series of options related to how your data is collected and used by Apple. First, under “Data Collection,” you can choose whether or not to allow Apple to collect data about your activities on your device. If you choose this option, Apple will collect information about what you do on your device, including where you are located and how long you stay in one place.
