iOS 14 now allows users to share approximate region instead of exact location in apps

Many location-based apps like those for weather only need to know the state or city to function. Apple’s latest operating system, the iOS 14, will give users the option of sharing an approximate location of the device with certain apps, instead of the exact location as shared in the earlier versions. The iOS 14 will come with a Precise Location toggle for Location Services that will give users greater control in choosing the apps they would like to share their exact location with. As 9to5 Mac points out, many apps do not require the exact location of a user and iOS 14 will give that liberty to Apple users. Apple said the streaming services would require a user’s regional location to show content that the “user is legally allowed to watch”.
