Location services on iPhone allows your apps to do all kinds of things, such as give you directions from your Current Location to your destination or track your jogging route with gps. You can also choose the specific apps that have access to your location information so you aren’t wasting battery or giving away more privacy than you need to. While location services on iPhone is pretty fundamental to a lot of the available functions, you can choose to turn off location services altogether. Whether you decide to turn location services on or off is entirely up to you and how you use your iPhone—we’ll go over both. Here’s how to turn location services on or off on iPhone.

Among the helpful features Apple introduced with iOS 13 is the ability to take full-page, or scrolling, screenshots in Safari.

Let's get started learning how to use this useful new screenshot capability! 

There's no need for most apps to track your location at all times. With older versions of iOS, the only choices you had for location tracking were Always or Never. So if you wanted your photos to be tagged with the location in which they were taken, you had to allow the Camera app to always track your location, which could drain your battery and use your data unnecessarily.

Your iPhone's Photos app automatically creates slideshows that use your images and music to generate a feature called Memories. These videos represent periods of time or vacations you take. For instance, I visited Cancun a few years back. My iPhone recognized I was in an unusual place and created a Memories video of that period of time. Likewise, if you take an unusually high number of photos in a day, Memories will assume an event took place and will create a Memories video for that day. You may also see other Memories such as Best of Last 3 Months or Best of the Year. When you go to play a Memories video, you can customize its music, length, the images and videos included, and the title before saving or sharing it. Here’s how to edit and share Memories.
