What I'm asking is, if I turn it off globally, can I still turn it on only
for specific apps?

In checking further, location services in privacy just applies to
apps. It can be turned on or off globally or set for each app. You
are correct that turning off location services does not impact calls
or texts. However, cell phone companies will still be having data on
a user’s location.

Hello Kelly,
I don't think that is correct. If I go to Settings > Privacy > Location
Services and I turn it off completely I can still make and receive calls
and
send and receive text messages.
I am pretty sure Location Services uses the phone's GPS to determine its
location and not cell towers.

Yes, the iPhone’s location can be turned off entirely. However, you would
not be able to receive calls or text messages because your cellular
carrier
would not know which cell towers could provide service to you. Therefore,
cell phone companies need to track the location of devices on their
networks
to provide service to them. The people on this list want this kind of
service. If you do not, then you should use an iPhone touch or keep your
device permanently on airplane mode.
Otherwise, you can keep the cell service and determine which apps can
access
your location under privacy in the settings app. Realize all apps owned
by
Alphabet, including YouTube, google and google Maps constantly track your
location even when the app is closed. It is necessary to configure
settings
in your Google account to stop google from hanging on to location
information.

Hi,
Is it possible to have the general location tracking in privacy turned
off and just turn it on for specific apps?
If so, how?
Thanks.
