Turning Off “Share My Location” on an iPhone 6 in iOS 8
The steps in this article were written using an iPhone 6 Plus, in iOS 8.4. However, these same steps will work for other devices that are using iOS 8 or higher. Note that turning off the Share My Location feature in the steps below will not turn off Location Services. This means that other apps or services which are using your location will continue to do so. Step 1: Open the Settings menu. Step 2: Scroll down and select the Privacy option. Note that you can also elect to access this setting through iCloud as well. Step 3: Tap the Location Services button. If you chose to go through the iCloud menu, then you will need to scroll to the bottom of the menu and select the Share My Location option instead(you can also skip Step 4). Step 4: Select the Share My Location option. Step 5: Tap the button to the right of Share My Location to turn it off. You will know that the feature is turned off when there is no green shading around the button. Note that it is turned off in the image below.
