Pavel Jelic From time to time, while browsing the web, you may find yourself in a situation where a dialog box appears on your display, in which a particular page asks you to access your location. In some cases, this requirement is relevant - for example, if you enter "restaurants" in the search and enable location access, you will be shown restaurants that are close to you. Sometimes, however, any other page that obviously doesn't need it for anything can ask you for your location. If these location access requests are already annoying you, you're in the right place. In this article, we will look at how you can disable them completely.

As mentioned above, websites will no longer be able to ask you for access to your location. But there is another possibility here, which is not so drastic. If you classically allow location access to a web page, you will give it your exact location - similar to, for example, navigation. If you don't mind just passing the exact location, but on the other hand, you wouldn't mind passing the approximate location so that you can use the functions related to the location, then I have good news for you. Indeed, in one of the last updates, Apple added an option with which you can allow applications to access only the approximate location. To set this option in Safari, go to Settings -> Privacy -> Location Services -> Pages in Safari, where deactivate possibility Exact location.
